Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 medium zucchinis, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all vegetables: peel sweet potatoes and dice into uniform 1/2-inch cubes, ensuring even cooking. Dice zucchinis, red bell pepper, and onion to similar sized pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to shimmer and become hot but not smoking.
- Add diced sweet potatoes first, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Stir sweet potatoes and add diced onions and bell peppers. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika evenly across the vegetables. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes.
- Add zucchini to the skillet, gently mixing with other vegetables. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes until zucchini is tender but not mushy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika as needed. The hash should have a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or topped with a fried egg for a complete meal.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: To ensure even cooking, make sure all your vegetables are diced into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. This helps them cook at the same rate and achieve that perfect crispy texture.
- Heat Management: When heating the olive oil, allow it to shimmer before adding the sweet potatoes. This ensures that they start cooking immediately and develop a golden-brown crust.
- Layering Technique: Start with the sweet potatoes, as they take the longest to cook. Avoid stirring them too soon—let them sit for 5-6 minutes to form that desirable crispy exterior before adding the onions and bell peppers.
- Seasoning to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning as you go. If you love a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some fresh herbs for an extra flavor boost.
- Serving Suggestions: This hash is incredibly versatile! Serve it as a side dish, or top it with a fried egg for a complete meal that’s perfect for brunch or dinner.
