Sweet Potato Hash

Hey babes,

So, I’m going to share a secret: sometimes, it’s lunch time, and I have prepared nothing, and I’m hungry and lazy. I may have told you that before, but I was too lazy to check. Problem is, I don’t keep things like TV dinners on hand, and I’m too cheap to order something.

In my most recent bout of too lazy to have something prepped, I wandered into my kitchen and just started opening doors. The sweet potatoes caught my attention first. Sure, I could do something with those. Maybe something a little heavier in protein. Beans are always my first choice, but I had vegan crumbles left over from a clearance sale. And a veggie. Oh, right, that bag of frozen kale I hadn’t used yet. Seasoning…maybe something…Italian?

And that was it. It was really that simple. I pulled my hair back, turned on an audiobook, and got to cooking. Improvisation is the mother of invention, after all. A good, antioxidant-rich starch, a cruciferous vegetable, and some protein-rich plant food, and voila. A meal. For added punch, I like to top it with some fiery salsa and a little nutritional yeast or hemp parmesan. I’m not going to delve into all of the amazing health benefits, because, at the end of the day, I made this because it’s easy and delicious. So check it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

  • 4-5 small to medium sweet potatoes, diced

  • 2 cups white beans

  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  • 1 cup vegetable broth, or as needed.

Directions

  • Heat large skillet to medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for a few minutes, adding a splash of vegetable broth if necessary to prevent burning.

  • Add kale, crumbles (or beans) and seasoning.
  • Stir and keep cooking until heated through.

Notes

  • I like to top with hemp parmesan and salsa, but a little pizza sauce, cilantro, or green onions would also be delicious.
