Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Finely dice the onion and green bell pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out into an even layer and allow them to cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes, so they develop a slight crust.
Stir the sweet potatoes and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Reduce the heat slightly if they begin to burn.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and optional chili flakes over the vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat the mixture with the spices.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sweet potato home fries.
Serve warm as a side dish for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
