🔪 Step by step instructions
We bake this sweet potato hash in the oven for an easy breakfast or brunch. Just a couple of steps:
Step 1
Dice the sweet potato (I peel them also), as well as the red bell pepper and white onion (image 1).
Step 2
Add all the vegetables to an ovenproof dish, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle over the herbs and spice and stir so all the vegetables are coated (image 2). Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potato is fork tender with slight browning at the edges.
Step 3
Toast the bread, if using. Then spoon the hash onto the plate, along with the toast and any sauce using. Serve immediately.
💭 Recipe tips and notes
- Dice the sweet potato into small pieces, around an inch in size, and to similar sizes for an even bake.
- Stir the hash halfway through cook time so all the vegetable cook evenly.
- Adjust the amount of herbs and spice to taste preference.
