Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Hash

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Optional Protein Additions

• 8 ounces breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup chickpeas
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

For Serving

• 4–6 fried or baked eggs
• Sliced avocado
• Fresh salsa
• Hot sauce
• Lime wedges
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Extra herbs

Equipment

• Large rimmed sheet pan
• Parchment paper
• Large mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2: Season the Sweet Potatoes

Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.

Add:

• Olive oil
• Smoked paprika
• Cumin
• Chili powder
• Garlic powder
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Oregano

Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

Spread them in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.

Step 3: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Roast for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and stir the potatoes.

Spread them back out and continue roasting for another 10–15 minutes until they are golden brown, crispy around the edges, and tender inside.

Step 4: Add the Vegetables

Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the sheet pan.

Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil if needed and toss everything together.

Return to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize.

Step 5: Add Spinach and Finishing Ingredients

Remove the sheet pan from the oven.

Scatter the spinach over the hot vegetables and gently toss until it wilts from the heat.

If using cooked sausage, bacon, beans, or cheese, add them now and return the pan to the oven for 3–5 minutes until warmed through and the cheese melts.

Step 6: Serve

Top the sweet potato hash with fried or baked eggs.

Finish with:

• Fresh herbs
• Avocado slices
• Salsa
• Hot sauce
• Lime juice
• Greek yogurt or sour cream

Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Sheet-Pan Sweet Potato Hash

• Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they roast at the same rate.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan—spread ingredients out for maximum crispiness.
• Roast sweet potatoes first because they take longer than most vegetables.
• Use smoked paprika for a deep, smoky flavor.
• Add spinach at the end to preserve its color and texture.
• For extra crispy potatoes, preheat the baking sheet before adding the sweet potatoes.
