Sweet Potato Hash
Sweet Potato Hash combines roasted sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and sausage cooked in a single pan, finished with baked eggs nestled on top, and toasted pecans for crunch. The balance of the hearty vegetables, savory chicken sausage, and baked eggs creates a warm, textured dish suitable for breakfast or brunch. The finishing drizzle of balsamic vinegar and optional maple syrup adds a subtle tang and sweetness contrast to the savory base.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato chopped into small chunks
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts quartered
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper + more to taste
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 3-4 chicken breakfast sausage chopped, I used Bilinski chicken sausage, or turkey breakfast sausage
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup optional
- 6 large egg
- ⅓ cup pecans raw
- hot sauce for serving, optional
- thyme for serving, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss chopped sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, onion and garlic in oil, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Spread veggies onto a large baking sheet. Add breakfast sausage to the same sheet pan and cook for about 25 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven, toss veggies and add spinach, balsamic vinegar and maple syrup (if using). Toss again to combine.
- With a spatula make 6 wells in the veggies, then crack 1 egg into each well. Season each egg with a little salt and pepper. Return baking sheet back to the oven and bake for an additional 6-10 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are cooked through and they’re reached your desired doneness.
- While veggies are roasting, toast pecans in a large, dry skillet for 1-2 minutes or until they are golden brown. Watch closely because they can burn quickly. Remove from heat, let cool and then roughly chop and set aside.
- Once veggies, sausage and eggs are done cooking, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Serve warm and garnish with fresh thyme and top with hot sauce, if desired.
