Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Ingredients

• Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are delicious in this recipe, but feel free to change it up using your favorite potatoes. I’ve also made this potato breakfast hash with gold potatoes, and sometimes I’ll use a combo. Whatever potato you decide to use, you’ll need roughly 1 1/2 pounds, about 3 large will do.
• Bell Peppers: The combination of the green and red bell peppers are my favorite. You can mix and match various bell pepper colors to suit to your taste, or use what you have on hand.
• Onion: Use your favorite onion, any will do – yellow, white or red.
• Chickpeas: Chickpeas add a fair amount of protein and fiber to this potato breakfast hash, and of course are delicious!
• Spices: We’ll be keeping it simple by using just garlic powder, mineral salt and fresh cracked pepper, allowing the flavors of the produce to shine through, even just salt and pepper would do. And if you have garlic flavored olive oil on hand, by all means use it!
• Dressing: The dressing is a creamy mix of tahini, a little lemon juice, pinch of salt and sriracha. It’s super minimal, but taste amazing adding the perfect finishing touch. If you prefer a not so spicy sauce, just the lemon is perfect.
