Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes

1 medium red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 small red onion, diced

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika for depth of flavor

1 tablespoon maple syrup for sweetness

4 large eggs

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Hot sauce (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle the smoked paprika over them. Sauté for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and display a lovely golden brown color.

    Add the Vegetables: After the sweet potatoes have softened, incorporate the diced red onion and chunks of red bell pepper into the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers have brightened in color.

      Incorporate Spinach: Gently fold the chopped spinach into the skillet, cooking for around 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down significantly. Reduce the heat to low, then drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the vegetable mixture, stirring to ensure all components are coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

        Cook the Eggs: In another non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs gently into the pan and cook according to your preference—sunny side up, over-easy, or however you like them. Aim for about 3-5 minutes depending on your desired doneness.

          Assemble the Hash: Evenly divide the sweet potato hash among four plates, creating a generous base. Top each serving with one freshly cooked egg, ensuring the yolk is beautifully intact for added richness.

            Serve: For extra flair, drizzle additional maple syrup over each plate and offer hot sauce on the side for those who like a spicy kick.

                Presentation Tips: To elevate the dish, serve in shallow bowls and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Ensure the eggs are positioned on top of the hash for an eye-catching presentation!
