Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by heating a flat skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes. -
Cook the Sweet Potatoes and Spinach
Add the grated sweet potato and chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Sprinkle in the fennel powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red chili flakes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep sautéing for 8-10 minutes, ensuring the sweet potatoes are tender and the spinach wilts down. -
Cool and Shape the Hash Browns
Once the sweet potato and spinach mixture is cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool down for a few minutes. Once cooled, use your hands to shape the mixture into small discs, pressing them firmly to form compact hash browns. -
Toast the Hash Browns
Heat another flat skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Carefully place the shaped hash browns onto the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. -
Serve
Serve the Sweet Potato & Spinach Hash Browns immediately. Pair them with toasted bread for extra crunch or enjoy them as they are. For an added refreshment, serve with a glass of Plum Ginger Juice for a delicious and wholesome breakfast.
Tips for the Perfect Hash Brown:
- Ensure the sweet potato is grated finely for a crispier texture.
- Don’t skip the cooling step; it makes it easier to form the hash browns into discs.
- You can freeze any leftovers. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a sealed bag for easy storage.
Suggested Pairings:
- Toasted Bread: Serve with a slice of warm, toasted bread to complement the crispy hash browns.
- Plum Ginger Juice: A refreshing and tangy drink that pairs perfectly with the savory flavors of the hash browns.
This Sweet Potato & Spinach Hash Brown Recipe is not only quick and easy but also a nutritious way to kickstart your day. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and the goodness of sweet potatoes and spinach, it’s the perfect vegetarian dish for any breakfast table.
