Steps
- Start the sweet potato fries in the oven at 400 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in cumin and paprika, then add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Make four shallow wells in the sauce and crack one egg into each, then cover and cook over low heat until the egg whites are set but the yolks still jiggle, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Plate the hot sweet potato fries alongside the shakshuka, sprinkle with cilantro if using, and season with salt and pepper.
