Savory Sweet Potato Hash Flavorful and Easy Dish
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 whole bell pepper (red or yellow), diced
- 1 whole zucchini, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- to taste olive oil for sautéing
- to taste salt and pepper
- to taste fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 large eggs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pan and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown.
- Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onions become translucent.
- Add the diced zucchini and minced garlic to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Continue cooking the hash for an additional 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are cooked through and nicely browned.
- If using eggs, create small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Once the hash is ready, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the hash on a large platter, topped with the cooked eggs in their wells. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle some extra cilantro for a vibrant presentation.
