Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and diced into similar-sized pieces

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup baby spinach (optional, for added greens)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for an extra touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into small 1/2-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly. Core the apples and chop them into similar-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion for a balanced flavor.

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced sweet potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and have developed a slight golden color.

      Add the Onions: Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet to create some space. Add the finely chopped red onion to the open space and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions soften and become translucent, enhancing the overall flavor.

        Incorporate the Apples and Spices: Next, add the diced apples along with the ground cinnamon and optional nutmeg into the skillet. Stir everything together until the sweet potatoes, onions, and apples are well combined. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the apples soften slightly while still holding their shape.

          Add Spinach (optional): If you’re including baby spinach for extra greens, toss it into the skillet at this stage. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts down.

            Finish and Serve: Taste the hash and make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning. For those who prefer a hint of sweetness, drizzle the dish with maple syrup and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley.

              Enjoy: Serve this warm dish as a delightful breakfast or brunch option, or as a hearty side to complement your dinner.
