Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
Finely dice the onion and green bell pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out into an even layer and allow them to cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes, so they develop a slight crust.
Step 5
Stir the sweet potatoes and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Reduce the heat slightly if they begin to burn.
Step 6
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened.
Step 7
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and optional chili flakes over the vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat the mixture with the spices.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sweet potato home fries.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
