Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 500g), peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes sweet potatoes
- 200g, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds chorizo sausage
- 1 medium, diced into 1/2-inch pieces red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced into 1/2-inch pieces yellow onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 4 large (optional, to serve fried or poached) eggs
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 diced medium sweet potatoes, 200g sliced chorizo, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 diced yellow onion with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the mixture in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and edges begin to caramelize.
- Step 3: While the hash roasts, if using eggs, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry or poach 4 large eggs to your preferred doneness.
- Step 4: Remove the hash from the oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately topped with the cooked eggs if desired.
