How to Make Sweet Potato Hash
STEP 1: ROAST SWEET POTATOES
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease your cast-iron skillet with olive oil. Add sweet potato and toss with chili powder, paprika, cumin and a 1/4 tsp salt and a half of pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
STEP 2: ROAST REMAINING VEGGIES
Stir in bell pepper, onion, garlic cloves and kale. Toss with remaining 1/4 tsp of salt and remaining half of pepper. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until all veggies are cooked and lightly browned.
STEP 3: BAKE EGGS
Make 4-5 wells in your hash and crack eggs directly into them. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until eggs are cooked to desired doneness (whites should all be cooked). Serve immediately with desired toppings.
*Topping Suggestions

- Pickled Jalapenos – can’t go wrong with a sprinkling of pickled jalapenos
- Skhug – a Yemeni hot sauce recipe. Love the middle eastern flavors this sauce adds!
- Avocado – sweet potatoes with avocado are always a delicious addition to brunch.
- Fresh herbs – fresh parsley or cilantro!
