Instructions

1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes to ensure quick and uniform cooking.
2. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
3. Add Onion and Bell Pepper: Stir in the onion and bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and caramelize slightly.
4. Season: Add garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly in the spices. Add spinach or kale if using, and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
5. Cook the Eggs: Make four small wells in the vegetable hash. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with avocado slices and parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
