Feta & Sweet Potato Hash With Greens

February 10, 2019

It’s been over a month since I’ve posted something healthy, which feels like a pretty good indication of what my life choices have been like lately :p #allcarbsallthetime

Between work, travel, and this disgustingly cold polar vortex weather, I’ve been indulging a bit too much, and right now I feel the need to get my eating back on track.  But it’s still gross cold and so these healthy options have to be delicious as well.  Behold—soft, sweet, salty, healthy feta & sweet potato hash!

Feta & Sweet Potato Hash | This healthy breakfast recipe is easy & delicious, and a perfect Meatless Monday dinner option, and it makes great leftovers too!

The flavors of the mellow sweet potato, the bitterness of the greens, and the saltiness of the feta play really well together, and the dried herbs add depth to the overall flavor profile.  It’s a really comforting dish, something easy to throw together and really healthy, but feels like you’ve done something special.  Here’s to good choices 🙂

The original recipe calls for Swiss chard, which would work well, but my grocery store almost never has it this time of year.  I used curly kale because it was my best option, though I’d prefer lacinato kale if it’s available.  For the curly kale, you’ll need to cook it down a little longer so it’s not tough.  But any greens can work here, as the recipe is quite flexible.  If you have fresh rosemary or thyme, feel free to toss a bit of that in as well.

Wash the sweet potatoes, and peel 3 cloves of garlic.  In a food processor, shred the sweet potatoes (with the skins on) and the garlic.  Wash and dry the chard, then cut it into thin strips, chiffonade style.

In a large skillet (I recommend cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium.  Add the shredded sweet potatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and fresh ground pepper.  Sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.  I like to let it sit for a few minutes to get a crisp, then stir and turn.  Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender but not too crispy.

Add the chard (kale, whatever) and sauté for another minute, until it wilts.

Then stir in the feta cheese and let it cook for a couple more minutes.

Turn your oven broiler on, then crack 4 eggs into the skillet on top of the hash.  Broil on high for 4 to 6 minutes, until the egg whites are solid.  This usually takes longer for me…I sometimes wonder if my broiler works the way it’s supposed to.  Just keep a close eye on it.

Serve immediately.  This makes great leftovers, particularly the sweet potato hash itself (the eggs are fine leftover, but obviously not as great as when they’re fresh).

Feta & Sweet Potato Hash With Greens

  • 2 pounds of sweet potatoes (I use 2-3 medium/large sweet potatoes)

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 4 ounces of feta cheese crumbles
  • 4 eggs
  1. Wash the sweet potatoes, and peel 3 cloves of garlic.  In a food processor, shred the sweet potatoes (with the skins on) and the garlic.  Wash and dry the chard, then cut it into thin strips, chiffonade style.

While I eagerly await warmer weather, I snuck in o While I eagerly await warmer weather, I snuck in one last winter cocktail...here's some Sage Advice! It's a winter-y version of a whiskey sour bringing both cinnamon and sage, and then skirting the line of daiquiri with the substitution of lime juice for the traditional lemon.

I've been making these healthy 5-ingredient browni I've been making these healthy 5-ingredient brownies on REPEAT for a couple months now. And knowing that they only take a few minutes to make has been a bit dangerous on random Tuesday nights when my sweet tooth strikes! 

Oh, and I forgot to mention that they're naturally gluten- & grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, and (optionally) no sweetener added?

This cranberry snack cake is seriously my platonic This cranberry snack cake is seriously my platonic ideal for a cake. I DREAM of this cake. A soft, moist, dense buttery vanilla cake batter is studded with tart fresh cranberries, with a tiny crunch of raw sugar on top. A perfect dessert or snack for pretty much any occasion...including with a cup of tea on a random Tuesday afternoon...

These super easy marinated white beans are packed These super easy marinated white beans are packed with flavor & only take a few minutes to make! Even better?? They're best when made ahead of time (in 5 minutes!) and left for a day or two in the fridge for the flavors to really meld & intensify. 

This has become a go-to plant-based recipe, but I often throw some grilled salmon or chicken on top for a full meal.

I'm not generally a soup person, though I'm trying I'm not generally a soup person, though I'm trying to be more 🍜 But this Turkish corba (a spiced red lentil soup) has always been one of my exceptions.  It's CRAZY easy to make, full of veggies and the protein from the lentils, and just feels like a warm hug in a bowl!  A great vegetarian dinner idea, perfect on any detox protocol, and just a great cozy recipe for the winter months.

Today, we FANCY. But also lazy. When I first saw a Today, we FANCY. But also lazy. When I first saw a recipe for the "lazy person's kouign amann", I was intrigued...and it definitely lives up to the hype! The texture isn't quite the same as the much more time-consuming and complex authentic French pastry it's hacking, but it's darn close and absolutely delicious.
