Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
Eggs
  • 4 large eggs for frying on top

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  3. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Make small wells in the hash mixture for the eggs. Crack an egg into each well, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve warm, and enjoy your colorful breakfast skillet!

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding cooked sausage or bacon to the hash. You can also substitute the eggs for scrambled tofu for a vegan option. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference!
