Ingredients
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 3 1/2 cups cubed and peeled sweet potatoes
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 cups kale, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish
- 1 medium avocado
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Other Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Saute Onion: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook Sweet Potatoes & Spices: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pan along with salt, paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
- Add Kale: Mix in the finely chopped kale and sauté for about 2 minutes until wilted and well combined with the sweet potatoes and onions.
- Add Eggs & Cook: Using a spoon, make 4 wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook the eggs according to your preference—about 4-6 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer eggs.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the hash with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with sliced avocado and toast if desired. Enjoy your wholesome and delicious meal!
Notes
- You can substitute kale with spinach or Swiss chard if preferred.
- For a vegan version, omit the eggs and add tofu scramble or avocado slices for protein.
- Adjust spices according to your personal taste for more heat or smokiness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- Adding a splash of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavors.
