  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 3 1/2 cups cubed and peeled sweet potatoes
  • 3 cups finely chopped kale
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic

Other

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Saute Onion: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced red onion for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, allowing the garlic to release its aroma without burning.
  3. Cook Sweet Potatoes & Spices: Add the cubed sweet potatoes along with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
  4. Add Kale: Incorporate the finely chopped kale into the skillet, sautéing it until it wilts, approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Add Eggs & Cook: Create 4 wells in the sweet potato and kale mixture, crack one egg into each well, cover the skillet, and cook to your preferred egg doneness—typically about 4-6 minutes for medium.
  6. Garnish & Enjoy: Once the eggs are cooked, garnish the hash with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with sliced avocado and toast on the side for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For creamier eggs, cover the skillet and cook on low heat to avoid overcooking the yolks.
  • If you prefer, substitute kale with spinach or Swiss chard.
  • To make it vegan, omit the eggs and add sautéed tofu or tempeh instead.
  • Serve with toasted bread or a side of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
