Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Fruits

  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Spices and Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional

  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Cook the sweet potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and develop a slight golden color.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. Add apples and spices: Stir in the diced apples, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until both the sweet potatoes and apples are tender and flavors meld together.
  5. Cook the eggs (optional): If using eggs, create four small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the hash warm, either as is or topped with the cooked eggs for a complete meal.

Notes

  • The hash can be made vegan by omitting the eggs or using a plant-based egg substitute.
  • For extra flavor, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  • To save time, sweet potatoes can be pre-cooked slightly before adding to the skillet.
  • Adjust spices according to your preference; a pinch of chili flakes can add a nice kick.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
