Allergens

Contains no common allergens unless specified.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 medium ripe plantains
• 1 large sweet potato
• 2 tbsp Suya spice mix (store
• bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, Suya spice mix, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in an even layer and roast for 25 30 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy.
2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, peel the plantains and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the plantain slices and cook for an additional 8 10 minutes, until caramelized and tender.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non stick pan over medium heat, add remaining olive oil, and pour in the egg mixture. Cook the omelette until set but still slightly soft in the center. Sprinkle Suya spice mix on top and fold the omelette in half.
4. To plate, create a mound of plantain hash in the center of the dish. Carefully place the Suya spiced omelette on top and surround with roasted sweet potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the Suya spice mix to infuse into the eggs, creating a unique and flavorful omelette - Roasting the sweet potato brings out its natural sweetness, complementing the savory flavors of the dish

Notes

Be sure to use ripe plantains for optimal flavor and texture - Adjust Suya spice mix based on personal preference for heat level
