Ingredients
Scale
2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
1/2 pound ground sausage (or ground turkey/chicken for leaner option)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 2-4 eggs, for topping
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown slightly.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the ground sausage to the empty side. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned.
Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder into the sausage mixture. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Combine the cooked sausage mixture with the sweet potatoes and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together well.
If using eggs, create small wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
Serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute your favorite paleo-friendly protein for the sausage, such as ground bison or shredded cooked chicken.
For extra flavor, add a dash of dried thyme or chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
If you prefer not to use eggs, top the hash with sliced avocado for healthy fats.
