Ingredients

  • 50 g green olives (pitted)
  • 1 Shallot
  • 2 tbsp capers (15 g; jar, drained weight)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 kg sweet potatoes
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 300 g frozen green beans
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp butter
  • a handful parsley (5 g)
  • chili flakes

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Finely chop the olives. Peel and finely dice the shallot. Chop the capers. Sauté all in 1 tbsp oil for 5 minutes over medium heat, then set aside.

  2. 2.

    Meanwhile peel, trim, and spiralize the sweet potatoes into spaghetti. Peel and finely dice the garlic. Boil the green beans for 5 minutes, then drain, let dry, and remove skins.

  3. 3.

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan. Add garlic, beans, and sweet potato spaghetti; cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Deglaze with a splash of water, reduce slightly so the spaghetti remains al dente. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4.

    Melt butter in a large non‑stick pan. Crack the eggs into it and fry over medium heat for 5–6 minutes to make sunny‑side up eggs; season with salt and pepper. Wash, dry, and chop parsley. Plate everything, drizzle with the olive mixture, sprinkle chili flakes, and garnish with parsley.
