Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 large sweet potato (about ¾ pound, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes)
- ½ red onion (diced)
- 4 cups kale (chopped and tightly packed)
Oils & Fats
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil (divided)
- 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
Spices & Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon salt (divided)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Proteins
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Cook Sweet Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until nearly smoking. Add the cubed sweet potatoes, ¼ teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly, then spread them in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until the bottom is browned and crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until crispy all around, approximately 10-12 minutes total. Remove from pan and set aside on a small plate.
- Sauté Onions and Kale: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and diced red onion. Cook until the onion softens, about 1-2 minutes. Add the chopped kale and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Sauté until the kale wilts, around 2 minutes. Return the sweet potatoes to the pan and toss everything together to combine.
- Cook Eggs in Hash: Create 4 evenly spaced wells in the vegetable and sweet potato mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to ensure even cooking and crisp texture for the sweet potatoes.
- Adjust the cooking time of the eggs to your preference for yolk consistency.
- Avocado oil is chosen for its high smoke point; other neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil can also be used.
- For a spicier kick, increase the crushed red pepper quantity or serve with hot sauce.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for more servings.
