• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
3. Add the diced bell peppers and chopped onion to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
5. In a separate small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side-up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
6. Carefully slide the cooked eggs onto the sweet potato and vegetable mixture in the large skillet.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

• Sweet Potato Cutting: To make dicing easier, slice the sweet potatoes into rounds first, then stack and dice.
• Customize the Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for an added twist.
• Sunny-Side-Up Perfection: To ensure your eggs are cooked perfectly, cover the skillet for the last minute or two of cooking to set the tops of the whites while keeping the yolks runny.

• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

• Bell Peppers: You can use any color of bell peppers or even poblano peppers for a bit more heat.
• Olive Oil: Swap olive oil with avocado oil or vegetable oil if preferred.

• This Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet pairs beautifully with freshly squeezed orange juice or a hot cup of coffee.
• Serve with a side of fresh fruit salad or whole-grain toast to complete the meal.
