How do you make this Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash?
Begin making this meal prep idea by preheating your oven to 425° F, then add sweet potatoes, bell pepper, mushrooms, onions or other substituted veggies to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, cumin, and chili powder. Toss pan ingredients to evenly coat in oil, then bake for 25 minutes. Once baking is done, remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to divide the sweet potato hash into 4 piles. Make indentations in the center of each pile, and add 1-2 eggs to the tops of each pile. Return the sheet pan to the oven for 8-12 minutes, depending on how well done you’d like the eggs, then serve with fruit and avocado if desired.
