Chicken Free Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
This hearty breakfast hash is the kind of morning meal that actually keeps you full — sweet, savory, and packed with real vegetables from the very first bite. Ground pork is the star protein here, seasoned with a warm blend of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon that makes the whole skillet smell incredible. Caramelized sweet potato cubes bring a natural sweetness that plays beautifully against the savory pork and the bright splash of apple cider vinegar stirred in at the end. Carrots, zucchini, and baby spinach round things out so you're getting serious nutrition without any extra effort. Everything comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your morning. It's a great option when you want something warming and satisfying that steers completely clear of poultry — no substitutions or workarounds needed, just straightforward ingredients that do exactly what you want them to do.

Instructions
- 1
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.
