This was my first time spiralizing anything so this whole experiment was new territory for me. I think the key is to get a good quality, sturdy spiralizer that can stand up to a hard vegetable like a sweet potato. You have to use a bit of pressure as you turn the crank on the spiralizer to push the sweet potato through.

If you would like to buy one, this OXO Spiralizer sold on Amazon (pictured below) is a fantastic choice. It’s super sturdy and can stand up to tough vegetables like sweet potatoes. Here is an Amazon affiliate link if you need one.

I started by browning pieces of Georgia made Delia’s Southerland Farms Jumbo Chicken Sausage links ( this is NOT a sponsored post, I just like the product and enjoy supporting local businesses). If you can’t find Delia’s sausage check with the meat department of your grocery store for a suitable substitute. I added some leftover collard greens  (here’s a recipe for my Church Basement Collard Greens) from dinner the night before along with some roasted red peppers, garlic and a bit of red pepper flakes. The collard greens were already well seasoned. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary at the end of the dish. Spinach or kale would be great in this dish as well. I’ll definitely try that soon.

If you are using fresh collard greens instead of pre-cooked wash, slice 12 ounces of collard greens (or use pre washed and sliced collard greens). Add them to the pan with the sausages and 1/4 cup of chicken broth, salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes and then continue with the dish.

In a separate pan I sauteed the spiralized sweet potatoes in hot canola oil for about 6 or 7 minutes over medium/high heat tossing gently so they wouldn’t break. I combined the sweet potatoes with the sausages and greens and WOW, it was delicious.
