Description
A fast, wholesome, and paleo-friendly breakfast hash made with sweet potatoes, kale, and eggs, perfect for quick mornings and meal prep.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound / 450g), peeled or unpeeled
- 3 cups chopped kale (about 90g), stems removed
- 4 large eggs, free-range or organic
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (about 150g) – optional
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 100g)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30ml)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped – optional
Instructions
- Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Dice onion and red bell pepper. Chop kale, removing tough stems. Mince garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown.
- Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chopped kale and stir it in. Cook for 2-3 minutes until kale is wilted but still bright green. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Push the hash to the edges of the skillet to create space. Crack eggs into the empty space and cook sunny-side up or scrambled as preferred. Cover skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes if needed to cook eggs through.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan to ensure sweet potatoes crisp instead of steam. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Season well with salt and spices. Wilt kale last to keep texture. Fry or scramble eggs in the same skillet for flavor and easy cleanup. For extra protein, add cooked bacon or sausage at the end or top with a fried egg. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet with a splash of olive oil or water to keep kale vibrant. Avoid microwave reheating to prevent mushy potatoes.
