Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup black beans
  • 3 or 4 large eggs
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 scallion, chopped
  • fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash and cube the sweet potatoes -- remember that the smaller the cubes, the shorter the cooking time. Slice the onion and dice the pepper.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat -- preferably ceramic or non-stick, which will keep the potatoes from getting burnt to the bottom of the pan. Add the onion and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft.
  3. Add another tablespoon of olive oil along with the sweet potatoes and cover. Cook on medium-high for 20-25 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender, stirring often.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in black beans. Add all spices, including salt and pepper (to taste), mixing well.
  5. Make a well for each egg, and crack each one into the well (carefully, as not to break the yolk). Bake for 7-10 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your preferred level of done-ness.
  6. Remove from oven and top with diced avocado, sliced scallions and freshly chopped cilantro.
Notes / Variations
Peppers of any color can be used, but I prefer red, orange or yellow for a little sweetness.

I typically bake the hash for 7 minutes, until the eggs are cooked but the yolks still runny. Bake longer to ensure the yolk is cooked through -- or break your yolks with a fork or knife a couple of minutes into baking.
