You guys, I had to post this Spicy BBQ Sweet Potato Hash & Eggs recipe while it is still National Egg Month.

A good egg hash is one of my favorite go to brunch items since it’s a good way to clean out the fridge, not to mention it’s hearty, satisfying, and full of protein & good carbs.

Over the past few years I’ve made countless combinations of an egg hash that I can’t wait to share with you guys.

This concoction of sweet caramelized onions along with a sweet potato, sweet & spicy barbecue sauce with spicy crushed pepper complements the eggs beautifully.

All that barbecue flavor for brunch, minus standing in front of a hot grill.

Now who wouldn’t want that? Hope you give this Spicy BBQ Sweet Potato Hash & Eggs recipe a go while BBQ Season is on. Enjoy!

A hearty and satisfying dish perfect for brunch, you'll feel good about yourself eating this egg hash. Eggs are a very good source of Vitamin B2, and are a good source Protein and Vitamin D, although the yolks do contain a lot of cholesterol, the yolk also contains tons of nutrients that are good for you. Sweet Potatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin A (antioxidants) and a very good source of Vitamin C, Potassium, and Fiber. Bell Peppers are an excellent source of Vitamins A & C, and a very good source of Fiber and Folic Acid.

Ingredients

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 1.5 tbsp
• Crushed Red Pepper Flakes - 1/2 tsp
• Organic Sweet Potato – 2 large small cubes
• Green Bell Pepper – 1 chopped
• Red Onion – 1/2 medium chopped
• Trader Joe’s Organic Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce & Marinade – 3 tbsp
• Black Pepper – to taste
• Salt – just a pinch BBQ sauce has salt
• Organic Eggs – 3-4 cracked over
• Chives – for garnish

Instructions

• Heat up a cast-iron skillet on medium heat.
• While the skillet heats up, peel the sweet potatoes.
• Once the skillet is hot, add oil and crushed red pepper. The pepper will sizzle, cook for 10 seconds or so.
• Add the sweet potato, stir and cook on medium heat for about 8 minutes uncovered.
• In the meantime, chop the green bell pepper and red onion. Stir the sweet potato in between.
• Once 8 minutes are up, add the bell pepper and onion to the sweet potato. Season with black pepper and just a pinch of salt (you don't need much since the bbq sauce has enough sodium).
• Stir and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 6 minutes. Stir in between to prevent burning.
• In the meantime chop the chives and set aside.
• Check on the sweet potato - should be fork tender.
• Now add barbecue sauce, I love this one from Trader Joe's, but you can use any kind.
• Stir and cook for about 1 minute until the sauce warms up.
• Now crack 3-4 eggs over the sweet potato.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 7 minutes. For slightly runny eggs cook for 5 minutes.
• Eggs are done.
• Garnish with chives. Serve immediately.

Notes

* For a 100% paleo option, skip the barbecue sauce and use one that is paleo or make your own BBQ sauce.
** For the eggs, you can use up to 4 eggs in this dish, and you may also use egg whites.
