Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and peel sweet potatoes, then dice them into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become golden brown and tender.
- Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, stirring and cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables are softened.
- Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
- Crack eggs directly into the skillet over the sweet potato and vegetable mixture, gently scrambling them with a spatula.
- Continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes until eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.
- Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Dice sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from being undercooked or overcooked.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Cast iron skillets also work wonderfully for achieving a nice golden-brown color.
- Cook sweet potatoes first to allow them to develop a crispy exterior and soft interior before adding other ingredients.
- Don't overcook eggs - keep them soft and creamy by removing from heat when they're still slightly glossy.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to elevate the dish.
- If you want to add more protein, try incorporating diced ham, bacon bits, or crumbled sausage into the scramble.
- For a dairy-free version, use olive oil instead of butter and skip any cheese toppings.
