Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 diced carrots, 2 diced parsnips, 1 diced sweet potato, and 1 diced small red onion. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and edges caramelize.
2. Step 2: Stir in 2 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the vegetables beautifully.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer and add 1 tbsp white vinegar. Crack 4 eggs one at a time into a small bowl and gently slide them into the water. Poach eggs for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
4. Step 4: Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs and drain on paper towels. Serve the maple-glazed root vegetable hash topped with a crispy poached egg each, garnished with extra thyme if desired.
