Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potato
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Dice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow onion into similarly sized small pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and develop a golden brown color.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables with the spices.
Optional: If you'd like to add eggs, create small wells in the hash and crack the eggs into them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish the hash with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as is, or enjoy with crusty bread or avocado slices on the side.
