Ingredients

4 teaspoons avocado oil

½ small red onion, chopped

1 poblano pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 large sweet potato, cut into ½-inch cubes

1 teaspoon chili powder

4 leaves lacinato kale, stemmed and torn

4 large eggs

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Hot sauce, for serving

Lime wedges, for squeezing

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat 2 teaspoons of avocado oil in a large lidded skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, poblano, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove the vegetables and set aside.
  2. Cook the sweet potatoes: Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the skillet. Add the sweet potatoes and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender and slightly crispy.
  3. Combine veggies and greens: Return the sautéed onion, poblano, and garlic to the skillet. Stir in chili powder and kale, cooking for 1–2 minutes until the kale wilts.
  4. Add eggs: Make four shallow wells in the hash and crack an egg into each one. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 3–5 minutes, until eggs are just set.
  5. Serve and garnish: Season with salt and pepper. Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Lid is key: Covering the skillet helps cook the eggs evenly and keeps the sweet potatoes tender.
  • Vegetable swaps: Red bell peppers, shredded Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, or corn can replace or supplement the vegetables in this recipe.
  • Vegan option: Skip the eggs and stir in 1 cup cooked black beans or top with smoky vegan bacon.
  • Meal prep tip: Cook the vegetable mix in advance and store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat and add eggs or beans when ready to eat.
