Sweet Potato & Black Bean Breakfast Hash


  • Author: Harper Callahan

Description

Some breakfasts are just meals… but this one? It’s a memory on a plate. Inspired by my Grandma’s Sunday rituals, this sweet potato hash is full of comfort, color, and that magic crunch from a well-loved skillet. It’s loaded with smoky spices, hearty black beans, and topped with sunny-side-up eggs that feel like a pat on the back for making it through the week. Whether you’re in fuzzy socks on a slow morning or making brunch for the whole table, this hash is your new go-to.


Ingredients

Scale
    • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced (½ inch)

    • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

    • ½ red onion, diced

    • 1 red bell pepper, diced

    • 1 jalapeño, minced (optional)

    • 23 garlic cloves, minced

    • 1 tsp ground cumin

    • ½ tsp smoked paprika

    • ½ tsp sea salt

    • ½ tsp black pepper

    • 1 cup cooked black beans (rinsed & patted dry)

    • 4 large eggs (or tofu scramble for vegan)

    • Fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley, green onion, or mint)


Instructions

  • Sear the sweet potatoes in oil over medium heat. Don’t stir for 5 mins – let them brown! Cook 10 mins until fork-tender with crisp edges.

  • Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeño. Stir and cook 5 mins until softened.

  • Create space in the pan, add garlic, spices, salt, and pepper. Cook 30 secs, then mix into veggies.

  • Fold in black beans gently. Cook 2 mins just to warm.

  • Make 4 wells and crack eggs into them. Cover skillet. Steam-cook 5–7 mins until whites are set but yolks still jiggly.

  • Garnish with cilantro. Serve warm, straight from the pan!

Notes

    • Cover the skillet fast after cracking eggs to get perfect runny yolks.

    • No eggs? Sub with seasoned tofu scramble or leave them off—it’s still delish!

    • Too spicy? Skip jalapeño or swap with a pinch of sweet paprika.

    • Batch it: Double the veggies and beans, store in fridge, add eggs fresh each morning.

    • Extra crispy? Finish under the broiler for 2 mins before adding eggs (if oven-safe skillet).
