# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Dice sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes. Trim Brussels sprouts and halve. Dice onions and bell peppers if using.
02 - Warm olive or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cast iron is recommended for crispiness.
03 - Add diced sweet potatoes and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
04 - Incorporate Brussels sprouts, onions, and bell peppers if used. Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper; stir well to combine.
05 - Cook for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, allowing vegetables to caramelize. Avoid overcrowding; let ingredients rest between stirs to form crisp edges.
06 - Fold in cooked bacon or sausage during the final 5 minutes if using. For eggs, create small wells in the hash, crack eggs in, cover, and cook to preferred doneness.
07 - Remove from heat. Top with fresh herbs, avocado slices, or hot sauce as desired. Serve immediately.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Using a cast iron skillet enhances crispiness and caramelization.
