Green Bell Pepper: Adds crunch and balances the sweetness of the sweet potatoes nicely.
Onion: Yellow or red onions work well; they add depth when caramelized.

Olive Oil: Use extra virgin for its rich flavor; it helps in roasting everything beautifully.
Spices (Cumin and Paprika): These spices bring warmth and a hint of smokiness to your hash.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, grab yourself a sturdy baking sheet and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

Chop your sweet potatoes into small cubes; aim for uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Toss them in olive oil along with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika until they’re well coated.

Spread those beautiful cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer; don’t crowd them! Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.

While those gorgeous sweet potatoes roast away, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and peppers; sauté until they soften and become fragrant—about 5-7 minutes will do nicely.

After that heavenly aroma fills your kitchen, stir in minced garlic for another minute before adding your roasted sweet potatoes into the skillet. Mix everything together gently so those lovely flavors combine.

If you’re feeling adventurous—or simply want more greens—toss in some spinach or kale at this point. Stir until wilted but still vibrant—this only takes about 2 minutes!

Serve hot with optional toppings like avocado slices or fried eggs if you’re feeling fancy. Enjoy your Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash while basking in compliments from family and friends!
