Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spatula. Cook the sausage until it's browned and cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil. Add the diced onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they start to become translucent.
- Add the diced red bell pepper and sweet potato to the skillet with the onions. Season with salt, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
- Allow the mixture to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. If the sweet potatoes are still firm after 20 minutes, you can cook for a few more minutes until they are soft.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, add the cooked breakfast sausage back to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the sausage through.
- Taste the sausage hash and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your preferences.
- Stir the fresh parsley into the sausage hash.
- Serve with eggs, if desired.
Notes
- If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet, be sure to double check your ingredients are gluten-free. The breakfast sausage is one you will need to confirm while shopping.
- The nutritional facts are based on pork sausage and will vary depending on what type of sausage you use.
- Be sure to uniformly chop the sweet potatoes into small bite sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly. You don't want to cut your sweet potato cubes too big, as it will take too long for your sweet potato hash to cook.
- For a vegetarian option, use a plant-based sausage or omit the sausage and add black beans or additional vegetables. You can also use tofu if you'd like, too.
