Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • Avocado slices or sour cream for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until starting to soften and brown.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    If adding eggs: Make four wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are to your desired runniness.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve warm.

Tips

  • For a slight crispier texture, avoid stirring the sweet potatoes too often in the beginning.
  • The hash is delicious on its own, but feel free to add a dash of hot sauce for extra zing.
  • This hash is fantastic as a base for breakfast burritos or served with a side of toast.
