Sweet Potato and Spinach AIP Breakfast Hash
This autoimmune diet breakfast gives you six vegetables right from the start with a mix of onions, green onions, white and orange sweet potatoes, zucchini, and spinach. This AIP breakfast hash is hearty and has a nice savory flavor with the combination of onions and herbs. It makes the perfect autoimmune diet breakfast for now and stores great for later!
Ingredients
- 1 lbs White sweet potatoes about 3
- 1 lbs Orange sweet potatoes about 3
- 1 Medium yellow onion
- 2 Green onions
- 1 ½ Cup Zucchini about 1
- 1 Cup Spinach
- 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Rosemary dried
- ½ Teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 Tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
- Start by heating a 12 inch cast iron skillet or large skillet at medium high heat with a generous portion of olive oil.
- While the skillet is heating up, chop your onion into bite sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Next, take your green onions and chop them and add them to the skillet with the onions.
- While the onions cook, start to chop your sweet potatoes adding them to the skillet as you chop them. You do not need to peel your potatoes. Start first by chopping your orange sweet potatoes and adding them to the skillet and next chopping the white sweet potatoes and adding them to the skillet.
- Add additional olive oil to cover the potatoes and cook the onions and potatoes for about 7 minutes stirring occasionally. Do not over stir or the hash may not brown properly.
- While the potatoes are cooking, chop the zucchini. Once the potatoes have cooked for 7 minutes, add in the zucchini and the seasonings and herbs.
- Cook for another 12-14 minutes stirring occasionally but not over stirring. The potatoes should be cooked through and browned, and the zucchini should be soft when it is time to add in the spinach.
- Finally add in the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is soft and cooked through. Serve your hash immediately on its own, with a side of meat, or avocado. You can also save this autoimmune diet breakfast for later by storing it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
My favorite cast iron skillet
In this AIP hash, I like the combination of orange and white sweet potatoes to get a little extra variety. But, you can definitely use only orange sweet potatoes or use only white sweet potatoes. White sweet potatoes tend to be starchier and slightly less sweet than orange sweet potatoes. So really it is personal preference, or what you have available, when it comes to making this autoimmune diet breakfast.
I like this AIP hash because it is only vegetables. You can eat it for breakfast or also make it as a side dish for lunch or dinner. To make this recipe a complete autoimmune diet breakfast, I like to pair it with a protein or fat, or both. So I will either add avocado to top it off, or I'll add in some nitrate free bacon or ham.
