This Kale and Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash is gluten free, grain free, dairy free, vegetarian and paleo!

Kale and Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash - Gluten free, Grain free, Dairy free, Vegetarian, Paleo

Ever have one of those mornings when you just don’t know what to eat for breakfast? Your usual eggs and toast aren’t calling your name, pancakes and waffles are too sweet for your palate so early in the day and the thought of a green smoothie makes you want to bang your head against the kitchen counter? Yeah, that was me this weekend. I stood staring at the contents of my fridge for way too long before deciding to give up on breakfast. And just as I closed the fridge door and lifted my head, my eyes landed on the bowl of sweet potatoes and onions sitting on top of my microwave. And just like in the movies (not really), a breakfast recipe was born.

Okay, okay, okay. So maybe my morning wasn’t as dramatic as I’m making it out to seem, but I was hungry! Or should I say hangry? Seems to be the word of the moment, don’t you think? Seriously, that word is everywhere. But whatever I was doesn’t matter now. All that matters is the end result – this deliciously warm and savory kale and sweet potato breakfast hash. Just look at it, you guys! Don’t you just want to stick your face in and start chomping?!

Kale and Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash - Gluten free, Grain free, Dairy free, Vegetarian, Paleo

Made with sauteed onions, kale fresh from the garden, golden sweet potatoes and savory herbs like rosemary and sage, this breakfast hash hit the spot.

If there was anything that could make this hash better, I found it. And “it” was a sunny side up egg. Don’t get me wrong – the hash by itself is a perfectly delicious meal or side, but there is something about adding a bright yellow egg yolk to this that makes it feel so decadent, sinful and dare I say, sexy. In practical terms, the egg yolks also help keep you fuller for longer and are packed with all the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K along with tons of other nutrients. They’re so good, one of my favorite bloggers, Liz Wolfe of Real Food Liz, even wrote an absolutely amazing book titled Eat the Yolks. Not going to lie, she’s one of my girl crushes.

What’s your usual go-to breakfast? Do you ever get tired of eating it and if so, where do you turn to get ideas for something new? More importantly, who is your girl crush?

    This came out delicious! I used about 2 tablespoons bacon grease. I had just cooked bacon. Definitely savory! First time trying these two ingredients together. Thanks

    A great go to recipe for a round of whole30 or anytime really. I love adding onions, peppers and mushrooms. Pretty much veggie in the fridge that needs to be eaten. Will also add some avocado and everything but the bagel seasoning. I’m out of sweet potatoes today but have squash so am going to try that instead!

    This is extremely delicious! I made this with a red sweet potato, yellow sweet potato, and a russet. I sprinkled some ras el hanout which gave the dish a nice Mediterranean kick to it. 🙂 Thank you so much, Isabel!

    First line of the article – “this is dairy free!”
    First step in the instructions: “In frying pan on medium heat, melt butter. ”

    I can easily sub in smart balance, but just thought I’d point out that discrepancy.

    can this be made ahead of time? (minus the egg of course) my mornings are short on time.

      Absolutely! You can make a big batch of this hash and have it all week. That’s a great idea 🙂

    My mouth is watering! We have lived in Central America for over a year, while we get sweet potatoes, kale is non existent. I will be dreaming of this all day…

      I’m not going to lie, it’s just as good without the kale! So feel free to omit it 🙂

      I would just substitute the kale for whatever local greens are available. It will work just as well!

        Absolutely! Love that idea. I used kale because I had soo much in my garden, but any greens work well.

      Render a bit of bacon no need for butter, and dice up aperagus and spinach just add the greens slightly later to the game and it comes out bomb, kales not always available for me either👌
