Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and diced into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro), chopped, for garnish

Optional Variations and Toppings

  • Cooked sausage, bacon bits, or tofu, for added protein
  • Shredded cheddar, feta, or goat cheese
  • Diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes for spice
  • Cooked chickpeas or creamy avocado slices (vegan egg alternatives)
  • Sautéed spinach, kale, or zucchini

Instructions

  1. Prep and Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dice the sweet potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes. Toss them in olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking until tender and crispy on the edges.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant, building a savory flavor base.
  3. Combine and Cook Eggs: Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet with onions and garlic. Create small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs directly into these spaces. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny; cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs and additional black pepper on top. Add any optional toppings or variations you like, then serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting.
  • Allow roasted sweet potatoes to cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent sogginess.
  • Use high-quality olive oil to enhance flavor and achieve a crispy finish.
  • Fresh herbs add brightness and balance to the richness of the dish.
  • Customize spices such as cumin, coriander, or chili powder to suit your taste.
