Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1cm cubes (about 400g)
• 1 large zucchini, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 2 cups fresh kale or spinach, roughly chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) and hot sauce for serving

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add diced sweet potato in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until golden and starting to soften.
3. Add diced red onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 4 minutes until vegetables soften.
4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add diced zucchini, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne if using. Stir well to coat everything in the spices.
6. Cook for 3 more minutes until zucchini is just tender and sweet potato is cooked through.
7. Add kale or spinach and stir for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
8. Make 4 wells in the hash mixture using a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
9. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (or cook longer for fully set yolks).
10. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve directly from the skillet with fresh herbs and hot sauce.

Tips & Variations

• Peel and dice sweet potatoes the night before to cut down prep time.
• Add diced cooked bacon or breakfast sausage (check label for paleo compliance) for extra protein.
• Any firm vegetable works: broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or mushrooms.
• For a more traditional hash, use white potatoes or a mix of white and sweet potato.
• Cooking the eggs covered guarantees even whites without flipping, keeping the yolks runny.
