Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and diced
- • apple: 1 large, cored and chopped
- • red onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • canned chickpeas: 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- • cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • baby spinach: 2 cups, loosely packed
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • turmeric powder: 1 teaspoon
- • cumin powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • fresh parsley: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lemon: 1, juiced
Instructions
- 1 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown.
- 2 Add the chopped red onion and apple to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the apple is tender.
- 3 Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mash the chickpeas slightly with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Mix in the turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- 4 Push the sweet potato mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side and add the chickpea mixture. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spices are fragrant and the chickpeas are heated through.
- 5 Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
- 6 Drizzle lemon juice over the entire skillet and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • For a complete breakfast experience, serve the Sweet Potato and Apple Skillet Hash with a side of whole-grain toast or a warm pita for added fiber and satiety. You might also consider topping the hash with avocado slices for a creamy texture and healthy fats. Pair this dish with a refreshing herbal tea or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to complement the vibrant flavors of the hash. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider adding a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt on the side, which brings a creamy, tangy element to this savory breakfast dish. This meal is not only filling but also provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, making it a perfect start to your day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat to retain the texture and flavor, adding a splash of water if it becomes too dry. For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
