Equipment
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 small sweet potatoes peeled and diced 1/2"
- 1/2 cup black beans rinsed and drained
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Cut two large squares of heavy-duty foil. Divide sweet potatoes, black beans, bell pepper, and green onions evenly onto each piece.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- If using, make a small well in the center and crack an egg into each packet.

- Carefully open packets (beware steam) and serve hot.
Notes
Foil packets are an easy way to make hearty breakfasts with zero cleanup. Crack eggs on top just before sealing for a runny yolk or skip for a vegan version.
