Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes peeled and diced into 0.5-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 small Yellow Onion chopped
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 can Black Beans 15 ounce, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Corn frozen or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper optional, for a kick

For Serving (Optional)
  • 1 medium Avocado sliced or diced

  • Hot Sauce to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
  2. Add chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, black beans, corn, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, optionally topped with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce.

Notes

This Hippie Hash is incredibly versatile! Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini, spinach, or kale. For an extra protein boost, a fried or poached egg makes a fantastic topping. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
