Ingredients for Skillet Sweet Potato and Chickpea Breakfast Hash

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and become lightly golden.
Add diced onion and red bell pepper; cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chickpeas and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to warm through and combine flavors.
