A quick and easy savory breakfast hash featuring caramelized sweet potatoes, spicy breakfast sausage, and fresh veggies, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage, crumbled (spicy pork or turkey sausage)
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, fried or poached eggs, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Rinse and pat dry to remove excess starch (about 5 minutes).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add crumbled sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving fat in the pan.
  3. Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add diced sweet potatoes to the pan in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes to develop a golden crust. Stir occasionally and continue cooking until tender and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes total. Add a splash of water if pan gets too dry.
  5. Sprinkle smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the sweet potatoes and veggies. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
  6. Return cooked sausage to the pan and add chopped spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve hot with optional toppings like sliced avocado or a fried egg on top.

Notes

Cook sweet potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure crispiness. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Season in stages for best flavor. Wilting greens last to keep vibrant color. For vegan version, substitute sausage with smoked tempeh or plant-based crumbles and use oil generously.
