Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions

Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

Sweet Potatoes: These will need to be peeled and cubed before adding them to your skillet. In addition, you could also use white potatoes as a substitute.

Onion: Any variety of onions will work, however, I do not recommend using a sweet onion since this is a savory recipe.

Avocado Oil: This can be substituted with organic extra-virgin olive oil. You could also substitute the oil with (2) tablespoons organic veggie broth to keep the recipe oil-free. Just make sure the veggie broth doesn't contain citric acid.

Garlic: Freshly crushed garlic will give the best flavor and nutritional benefits, but it can be substituted with organic ground garlic.

Red Pepper Flakes + Ground Black Pepper + Ground Cayenne Pepper: Feel free to adjust the amounts to your preferences or even omit if you don't like spicy foods or will be serving this dish to children.

Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.

Red Bell Pepper: This can be substituted with orange or yellow pepper, or even omitted if you prefer.

Spinach: This will give the recipe extra nutritional benefits but it could be substituted with kale or arugula or even omitted if you prefer.

Chia Seeds: Again, this ingredient gives the recipe extra nutritional benefits and a slightly "crunchy" texture, but they can be omitted if you don't like them or don't have any on hand.

Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (4) cups of hash. Nutritional information is for (1) cup which is (1) serving.

    Delicious meal and a great alternative, as I always make my sweet potato in the oven. I have added pumpkin seeds and would use more spinach next time, just as it really disapears when wilted. Thank you for this recipe!

      Hi there Aneta! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe!

      Yes, isn't it amazing that you can fill an entire skillet full of fresh spinach and after it's cooked, you're left with about 1/4 cup lol?

      Definitely feel free to add more spinach (more is always better!) and the added pumpkin seeds sound amazing.

      Thanks for trying out the recipe and for taking the time to let me know you liked it...I sincerely appreciate it 🙂
