Say good morning to a hipper, healthier version of standard breakfast hash. I’ve replaced the regular white spuds with nutrient-rich sweet potatoes and added kale…two of nature’s “superfoods.” It’s a meal packed with veggies & protein and better yet…it tastes freaking awesome.
This is an obvious choice for breakfast or brunch, but also makes a very satisfying dinner (I’m a huge fan of eggs for any meal). It’s super simple to prepare and covers sweet, savory, & spicy in one big, tasty combo. Plus it looks really pretty when you serve it out of the cast iron skillet. Enjoy!
Serves 6
2 medium orange-flesh sweet potatoes/yams, about 1 1/2 pounds
4 T. olive oil, divided
1 t. chili powder
kosher salt & pepper
1 onion – thinly sliced
1 c. red pepper, chopped
1 T. chopped fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic – chopped
3 c. baby kale, roughly chopped
4-6 eggs
Garnishes:
1/2 c. crumbled Cotija or Greek Feta cheese
Chopped cilantro
A couple dashes of your favorite hot sauce, if desired (I recommend Sriracha on this one!)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut sweet potatoes into 1 inch pieces, leaving skin on. Place on baking sheet, toss with 2 T. olive oil, chili powder and season with salt & pepper. Roast in oven until potatoes are soft and beginning to brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
When potatoes are almost finished roasting, heat 2 T. olive oil in a heavy, 10-12 inch ovenproof skillet. Saute onions over medium heat about 5 minutes. And red pepper and thyme and cook another 3-4 minutes until onions are are cooked and beginning to brown slightly. Add garlic and saute one minute. Add kale and 2 T. water and cook, stirring, until kale is wilted and water had evaporated, about 3 minutes.
Add sweet potatoes to skillet and stir to combine. Evenly spread vegetables on the bottom of the pan. Make 4-6 small wells in sweet potato mixture and crack in eggs. Place skillet in the oven and cook until eggs are set but still have runny yolks (if desired), about 9-11 minutes.
Remove from oven and season eggs with salt & pepper. Crumble the cheese over the hash. Garnish with fresh, chopped cilantro & hot sauce.
