Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes, red onion, and bell pepper. Season with 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-18 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and edges are golden.
