Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (½-inch pieces)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: 2–4 eggs, avocado slices, fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Sauté & Steam: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes, cover with a lid, and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to become fork-tender.
- Add Flavor: Remove the lid and stir in bell peppers, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat everything in the spices.
- Crisp & Caramelize: Cook uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are tender and veggies have softened with crispy, golden edges.
- Egg Options: For eggs, either make wells in the hash, crack eggs in, cover, and cook 3–5 minutes until whites are set (Option A), or fry eggs separately in another pan for more control (Option B).
- Finish & Serve: Top with avocado slices, fresh herbs, and season to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Dice sweet potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Don’t stir too often—letting the veggies sit against the hot pan helps them crisp up.
- Customize with your favorite veggies—zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms all work well.
- For meal prep, cook the hash ahead and add freshly cooked eggs when serving.
- Make it spicy with red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or diced jalapeños.
