Description

Whether served as a side or main dish, this easy sweet potato hash is given tons of Mexican-inspired flavor thanks to black beans, corn, and spices.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
3 medium carrots, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup canned black beans
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

1 Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking until vegetables have accumulated browned bits on them, about 5 minutes more.
2 Stir black beans, corn, cinnamon, chipotle pepper, paprika, and cumin into the skillet. Mix thoroughly and reduce heat to medium-low, adding another tablespoon olive oil if mixture is dry. Cook for another 5 minutes before serving.
