Carrageenan Free Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
Warm, savory, and loaded with color, this skillet hash is the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full until lunch. Sweet potato cubes get golden and caramelized in coconut oil before joining seasoned ground pork, tender carrots, zucchini, and a handful of wilted baby spinach — all brought together with a bright splash of apple cider vinegar. The spice blend of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon gives the whole pan a gently warming depth that feels special without being fussy. For anyone navigating carrageenan concerns, this recipe is built entirely from whole, unprocessed ingredients, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about additives sneaking in through processed meats or packaged seasonings. Every component is straightforward and easy to source clean. It comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying a nourishing morning meal. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley and you've got a breakfast that looks as good as it tastes.

Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and cook, stirring only every 2–3 minutes, until golden on the edges and just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp coconut oil to the skillet. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the carrots have begun to soften, about 5–6 minutes.
