Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 cups fresh kale, stems removed and chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 large eggs

1 avocado, sliced (for topping)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 10-15 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

    Add Aromatics: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. In the open space, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the garlic and red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

      Incorporate Kale and Spices: Stir in the chopped kale, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as desired.

        Cook the Eggs: Create 4 small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook for about 5-8 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).

          Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Top the dish with avocado slices and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy this nutritious breakfast skillet!
