Helpful Tips
To make this recipe even easier, you can use pre-cut sweet potatoes available in many grocery stores. For added protein, consider topping your hash with a poached or fried egg. Feel free to swap the red bell pepper with green or yellow bell peppers for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a little spice, a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños can add a delightful heat.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through or in the microwave for a quick meal.
