Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large diced sweet potato, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 diced small yellow onion. Season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and edges start to brown.
  2. Step 2: Push vegetables to the side of the skillet and add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the empty space. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny, or cook longer to desired doneness.
  3. Step 3: Divide the vegetable hash among 4 plates, top each with a cooked egg, and garnish with 1/4 sliced medium avocado and 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Step 4: Serve immediately while eggs are warm for a satisfying Whole30 breakfast.
