Ingredients
  

For the Breakfast Hash

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
  • Diced avocado for serving

Substitutions

Instructions
 

Cook the Sweet Potatoes

  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  • If they start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.

Sauté the Vegetables

  • Once the sweet potatoes are nearly cooked through, push them to the side of the skillet.
  • Add another 1 tbsp of olive oil to the empty side and add the diced onion and red bell pepper.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Add the Spinach

  • Stir the sweet potatoes, onions, and peppers together, then add the chopped spinach to the skillet.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Make the Eggs

  • Use a spoon to create four small wells in the sweet potato mixture.
  • Crack an egg into each well.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (cook longer for firm yolks).

Serve the Hash

  • Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the hash with fresh parsley or cilantro.
  • Serve immediately, with optional toppings like crumbled feta, red pepper flakes, or diced avocado.
