I love their natural sweetness and bright color. You will need two medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes. The next star is a bell pepper. You can choose a red or yellow one, diced to add a pop of flavor and crunch. Next, grab a small red onion. Finely chop it to release its strong, sweet scent. You will also need two cloves of garlic, minced to give your dish a lovely aroma. Don’t forget about the black beans! One cup, drained and rinsed, adds protein and texture. Now, let’s spice it up! You will need one teaspoon of ground cumin and one teaspoon of smoked paprika. These spices give a nice warmth to the dish. Add salt and black pepper to taste, too. For the oil, use two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. This will help cook the hash and add depth to the flavors. Finally, add two cups of fresh spinach, roughly chopped. It wilts down nicely. Top your hash with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado. This adds freshness and creaminess to your meal. If you want to see how all these ingredients come together, check out the Full Recipe! Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes, along with a pinch of salt. Sauté these sweet potatoes for about 10-15 minutes. Stir them occasionally. You want them to become tender and turn a lovely golden-brown. Once your sweet potatoes are soft, clear some space in the skillet. Push the potatoes to one side. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the open space. Now, toss in 1 diced bell pepper and 1 small finely chopped red onion. Sauté these veggies for 4-5 minutes. The onion should turn translucent and fragrant. Next, it’s time to boost the flavor! Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir everything well to combine. Cook this mixture for another minute. This allows the spices to release their wonderful aromas. Now, gently fold in 1 cup of canned black beans, drained and rinsed, along with 2 cups of roughly chopped fresh spinach. Stir everything together and cook for about 2-3 minutes. You’ll see the spinach wilt down nicely, and the beans heat through. When everything is well mixed and hot, take the skillet off the heat. Taste your hash and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve it warm, topped with fresh cilantro leaves and slices of creamy avocado. This Vegan Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash is ready to enjoy!

Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 bell pepper (choose red or yellow), diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed thoroughly

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Sliced avocado, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes along with a pinch of salt. Sauté for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and begin to caramelize, developing a golden-brown exterior.

    Add the Vegetables: Once the sweet potatoes are softened, push them to one side of the skillet to make space. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the cleared space, then stir in the diced bell pepper and chopped red onion. Sauté these ingredients for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

      Incorporate Garlic and Spices: To the skillet, add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and adjust with a bit more salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional minute, allowing the spices to release their aromatic qualities.

        Mix in the Black Beans and Spinach: Gently fold in the rinsed black beans and chopped fresh spinach into the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts down and the beans are heated through.

          Serve: Once everything is combined and heated, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the hash warm, beautifully topped with fresh cilantro leaves and slices of creamy avocado.
