Start your day off right with a healthy vegetable-loaded breakfast! This Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash is exactly what you need. Read the notes below for tips for making this healthy breakfast!
Prep your veggies: Dice the sweet potatoes into small pieces, about ½ - ¾ inches each. Dice the bell pepper into small pieces, about ½ - ¾ inches each. Dice the onion into small pieces.
Preheat a large skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of Mazola Corn Oil to the skillet. Add the diced sweet potato and diced onion to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are mostly fully cooked. Use a lid to cook the sweet potatoes faster by keeping the heat in! And make sure to stir every few minutes so the sweet potatoes don't burn at the bottom.
When the sweet potatoes are mostly cooked, add the diced bell pepper, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Stir, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bell pepper and sweet potato are cooked to your liking. See step 5 to start cooking the eggs during this step!
Stir in the fresh cilantro, diced scallion, and lime juice. Remove from heat.
Cook the eggs while the sweet potatoes finish cooking. Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon Mazola Corn Oil. Carefully crack eggs open into the skillet and lower the heat to low. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve: Place the sweet potato hash on a plate or in a bowl. Add a fried egg on top. Serve with freshly sliced avocado, extra cilantro garnish, and an extra squeeze of lime juice. Season with chili powder or cayenne pepper, if desired.
Notes
Time-saving tip: buy pre-cut sweet potatoes at the store
Turn up the heat: add a diced jalapeño (remove the seeds) with the bell pepper, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasonings mixture
Meal prep tip: prepare the sweet potato and bell pepper hash ahead of time, but fry the eggs fresh. Simply reheat the sweet potato mixture in the oven for a few minutes (or a microwave for 1-2 minutes) while you fry the egg. Serve with a freshly fried egg and sliced avocado on top. I do not recommend reheating fried eggs or slicing the avocado in advance!
Add more protein: add some bacon, turkey bacon, or breakfast sausage to this hash for extra flavor and more protein
