This savory hash will satisfy your morning hunger and help you lose weight! Butternut squash is much lower in calories and carbs per serving than a potato, making the glycemic load in a serving of butternut squash an 8 while for potatoes the GI is a whopping 29 per serving. But best of all, butternut squash is packed with nutrition like vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium and manganese. So eat up without all the guilt.
Preheat skillet on medium heat. Add the oil or butter. Add the diced onion and garlic, cook in the oil till the onion is translucent. Add the butternut squash then turn the heat up to medium/high. Fry the butternut squash with the garlic and onion for about 10 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent burning. Add the red bell pepper, coarse salt and black pepper. Fry for another five minutes or till the hash is browned (take care not to burn it). Garnish with the chives and a little more sea salt.
A great addition to this dish is diced pancetta. Add it when you add the butternut squash for great added flavor. And top with a fried egg if you like!

This is now just about my favorite breakfast. I prefer roasting the veggies over stir fry as the butternut squash stays a little too crunchy with pan cooking for my taste. The first time I included bacon and cooked it in the skillet. The 2nd time I just roasted squash, sweet potato and onion. Delish!!! I don’t miss having the toast with the egg at all.
