If you're looking for a hearty yet healthy dish, this Kale and Sweet Potato Hash is a must-try. It's packed with vibrant flavors and comes together in one pan, making it perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a lazy Sunday brunch.
Olive oil is your base for sautéing, adding a rich, fruity undertone. Sweet potatoes bring natural sweetness and a satisfying texture. The onion and garlic team up to create a savory, aromatic foundation. Red bell pepper adds a pop of color and a fresh, crisp taste. With smoked paprika, you'll get a hint of smokiness that elevates the dish. Kale adds a nutritious, slightly bitter balance. The eggs provide protein and richness, while a sprinkle of feta cheese (if you choose) adds a tangy, creamy finish.
This hash pairs wonderfully with crusty bread to mop up those delicious egg yolks. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside grilled sausages or a simple green salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want the oil to shimmer slightly, signaling it's ready. Toss in your diced sweet potatoes. Let them cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're crispy and golden brown. This is where patience pays off; a good sear on the potatoes makes all the difference.
Next, add your finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper into the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes. This step allows the onions to soften and the garlic to release its fragrance, while the bell pepper retains a slight crunch.
Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir it all well so the spices coat every bit of the hash, turning it a beautiful reddish hue.
Now it’s time for the greens. Add your chopped kale to the skillet and cook until it’s wilted, about 3-4 minutes. The kale should still be bright green and vibrant.
Create two wells in the hash by pushing aside some of the mixture with a spatula. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook until they’re set to your liking. A runny yolk will add a luxurious sauce-like quality to the dish.
Finally, if you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top right before serving. The cheese will melt slightly into the hash, adding a creamy, tangy touch.
