A quick, nourishing Whole30-approved breakfast hash combining sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and eggs for a balanced and flavorful morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1 pound)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 pound). Dice the bell peppers and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Place a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil. Warm until shimmering but not smoking, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer. Cook without stirring for about 5 minutes to get a golden crust, then stir occasionally for another 7-8 minutes until tender but still holding shape. Add a splash of water if they stick to help steam them.
  4. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
  5. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  6. Push the hash mixture to the sides of the pan to form 4 small wells.
  7. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency. For firmer yolks, cook 1-2 minutes longer.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Notes

Patience is key to getting perfectly caramelized sweet potatoes—avoid stirring too often early on. Use a lid when cooking eggs to ensure even cooking without drying out. Season in layers for balanced flavor. Par-cooking sweet potatoes in the microwave for 3-4 minutes can speed up cooking. Adjust spice levels with crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
