Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ lb breakfast sausage (pork, chicken, or plant-based)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 4 eggs
- ½ avocado, sliced (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. This step gives the sweet potatoes a nice golden edge and a creamy interior.
2. Brown the Sausage:
Next, move the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the sausage to the other side. Cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. The savory, juicy sausage will start to flavor the sweet potatoes beautifully.
3. Sauté the Veggies:
Once the sausage is browned, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until the veggies soften and release their flavors. Stir in smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper for that warm, aromatic spice blend that makes this dish so comforting.
4. Add the Spinach:
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until it wilts down. The spinach adds a fresh, green boost that balances out the richness of the sausage and sweet potatoes.
5. Cook the Eggs:
Now comes the fun part—creating small wells in the hash and cracking an egg into each one! Cover the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking. For a runny yolk, aim for less time; for a firm yolk, cook a bit longer.
6. Serve & Enjoy:
Once the eggs are cooked, top your hash with sliced avocado and a drizzle of hot sauce (if you like a little heat). Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, flavorful breakfast that’s as satisfying as it is nutritious!
Notes:
- Customize Your Hash – Feel free to swap in different veggies or spices to make this hash your own. Try adding zucchini, mushrooms, or a sprinkle of cheese for extra flavor.
- Meal Prep Tip – This breakfast is great for meal prep! You can cook the hash in advance, store it in the fridge, and simply reheat it in the morning before adding your eggs.
This Hearty Sweet Potato, Sausage & Spinach Breakfast Hash is everything you need to kick off your day. Full of flavor, simple to make, and packed with nutrients, it’s a breakfast you’ll want to keep coming back to!
