Ingredients

• 3 cups sweet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
• 1 medium zucchini (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups baby spinach (roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.

Step 3

Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the empty side of the pan. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom and coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 5

Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

Serve the sweet potato hash warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy as-is or pair it with a side of avocado slices for additional heart-healthy fats.
