Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-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 freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

4 large eggs

Fresh parsley, 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 hot, add the diced sweet potatoes. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Allow the sweet potatoes to cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should become tender and begin to brown at the edges.

    Add the Vegetables: Once the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, mix in the diced red onion and chopped red bell pepper. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peppers are vibrant in color and the onion is translucent.

      Incorporate Spinach: Gently stir the chopped spinach into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and reduced in size. Lower the heat to low and drizzle the maple syrup over the hash, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

        Cook the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your liking—whether sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled.

          Assemble the Hash: To serve, divide the sweet potato hash among four plates. Carefully top each portion with a cooked egg. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

            Serve: If you enjoy a touch of sweetness, drizzle more maple syrup over the top. Offer hot sauce on the side for those who prefer an extra kick.
