Ingredients
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup spinach, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (or black beans)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional)
Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
- Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the spinach and chickpeas (or black beans) to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook until the spinach wilts and the chickpeas are heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Optionally, sprinkle nutritional yeast over the skillet for a cheesy flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
Feel free to add crumbled vegan sausage for extra protein and flavor.
You can swap vegetables like mushrooms, tomatoes, or kale for more variety.
Add jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
For a more ‘eggy’ texture, add a tofu scramble to the skillet.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
