Short Description: Crispy, flavorful sweet potato hash with veggies and turkey sausage, cooked in the air fryer for a healthier, hearty breakfast.

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled & diced into 1/2-inch cubes → Naturally sweet, nutrient-packed base

• 2 turkey sausage links, diced → Lean protein with savory flavor

• 1 red bell pepper, diced → Sweet crunch and color

• 1 green bell pepper, diced → Balances flavors with mild bitterness

• 1/2 medium red onion, chopped → Adds depth and savoriness

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil) → Helps crisp veggies in the air fryer

• 1 tsp smoked paprika → Warm, smoky flavor boost

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder → Subtle seasoning

• 1/2 tsp salt → Balances flavors

• 1/4 tsp black pepper → Gentle heat

• Fresh parsley (for garnish) → Fresh finish

• Optional Add-ins:

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes → For a spicy kick

• Shredded cheddar → Melty topping

• 2–3 fried or poached eggs → Makes it a complete breakfast plate

Directions

• Preheat the air fryer:
  Set to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.
• Prep veggies:
  Dice sweet potatoes, peppers, and onion into even pieces.
• Season:
  In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, peppers, onion, and turkey sausage with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
• Load basket:
  Place mixture into the air fryer basket in an even layer (don’t overcrowd; cook in batches if needed).
• Cook:
  Air fry at 380°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
• Check doneness:
  Sweet potatoes should be tender inside and crispy outside.
• Serve:
  Garnish with fresh parsley. Add fried eggs or avocado slices for a complete breakfast.

Notes

• Batch Cooking: If your air fryer is small, cook in two rounds to avoid soggy hash.
  Meal Prep Storage: Store cooled hash in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes.
  Vegetarian Option: Skip sausage and add mushrooms or chickpeas for plant-based protein.
• Variations
  Southwest Style: Add corn, black beans, and a sprinkle of cheddar; serve with salsa.
  Italian Twist: Use chicken sausage, cherry tomatoes, and Italian herbs.
  Paleo Friendly: Skip beans/cheese, and top with avocado & fried eggs.
