Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Additions

  • 2 eggs (for serving, cooked sunny side up or scrambled)
  • Diced sausage, bacon, or chickpeas for protein boost
  • Extra vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or kale
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for spice
  • Fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme for garnish
  • Tofu or tempeh (for vegan protein options)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes to ensure they cook uniformly. Chop the bell peppers and onions into similar sizes and mince the garlic finely.
  2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato cubes and spread them out evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop crispiness, then stir occasionally until golden and tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Add Onions and Peppers: Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Sauté, stirring frequently, until onions soften and peppers become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Season and Include Garlic: Sprinkle paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper evenly over the vegetables. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, allowing the spices and garlic to meld into the mixture.
  5. Optional Additions: If adding eggs, crack them directly into the skillet and cook them sunny side up or scramble and mix in. For other proteins like sausage or tofu, cook separately and combine at this stage to preserve texture.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into similar sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook on medium heat patiently for crisp edges without burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the sweet potatoes.
  • Use freshly ground spices for elevated flavor.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro at the end to brighten the dish.
