Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and diced
- • canned chickpeas: 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- • baby spinach: 2 cups, fresh
- • red onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Serving Suggestions
- • Enjoy this breakfast skillet on its own or alongside a slice of whole-grain toast for a satisfying start to your day. For added protein, consider topping with a poached egg or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Pair with a freshly squeezed orange juice or a green smoothie to complement the vibrant flavors and boost your vitamin intake. For a heartier meal, serve the skillet with a side of avocado slices or a small bowl of mixed berries. The creamy texture of avocado and the natural sweetness of berries harmonize beautifully with the savory notes of the skillet, creating a balanced and colorful breakfast plate.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply return the skillet ingredients to the air fryer or a non-stick pan over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this may result in a loss of texture.
