Hearty Sweet Potato & Beet Breakfast Hash with Savory Apple Maple Sausages

There’s nothing quite like a comforting, vibrant breakfast to kickstart your day, especially when the world feels a little out of sync, or when you simply crave a leisurely morning meal. This Sweet Potato & Beet Breakfast Hash is precisely that kind of dish – a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, bursting with color and wholesome goodness. It’s perfect for those crisp, cool mornings, a celebratory weekend brunch, or even as an impressive holiday side dish. Paired with succulent Apple Maple Breakfast Sausages, this hash promises to transform your breakfast routine into an extraordinary culinary experience.

While many of my weekday breakfasts are designed for speed, taking less than 30 minutes to prepare, there’s a special joy in slowing down and truly savoring the start of the day. The holiday season, with its relaxed pace and emphasis on gathering, offers the perfect excuse to indulge in a more elaborate and satisfying meal. This hash, with its festive hues and rich flavors, is not just a dish; it’s an invitation to ease into the day and enjoy every flavorful bite.

Imagine a breakfast that brings together the best of both worlds: the comforting sweetness of roasted root vegetables and the savory satisfaction of perfectly seasoned plant-based sausages. This Sweet Potato & Beet Breakfast Hash achieves just that, offering a robust combination that will awaken your taste buds and provide lasting energy. Requiring minimal cleanup thanks to its one-pan preparation, it’s a hearty start to your day that doesn’t compromise on flavor or convenience. Get ready to fall in love with the harmonious blend of smoky, spiced sweet potatoes, earthy beets, and sweet caramelized onions, all perfectly complemented by your choice of flavorful breakfast sausage.

The Irresistible Ingredients of This Breakfast Hash

My palate often gravitates towards sweet breakfasts, but as the seasons change and the mornings grow darker and colder, I find myself craving something more substantial and warming. This breakfast hash perfectly bridges that gap, offering an exquisite balance of sweet and savory notes. The key lies in its thoughtfully selected ingredients and the way their flavors meld together during the roasting process.

• Sweet Potatoes: These root vegetables are the foundation of our hash, providing a natural sweetness and a creamy texture when roasted. Rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, sweet potatoes not only taste incredible but also contribute significant nutritional value. Their inherent sweetness becomes even more pronounced, creating a delicious counterpoint to the earthy beets and savory spices.

• Red Beets: Adding a vibrant splash of color and a unique earthy flavor, red beets are a fantastic addition. When roasted, they soften and release their subtle sweetness, complementing the sweet potatoes beautifully. Beets are known for their high content of essential vitamins, minerals, and powerful antioxidants, making this hash not just delicious but incredibly healthy.

• Red Onion: Diced and caramelized during roasting, red onions add a pungent-sweet depth that enhances the overall flavor profile of the hash. Their slight sharpness mellows into a lovely sweetness, tying all the vegetable flavors together.

• Aromatic Spices: The magic truly happens with the spice blend. Smoked paprika lends a wonderfully deep, smoky flavor, while coriander and cumin contribute warm, earthy notes. Garlic powder adds a foundational savory touch, and Himalayan sea salt balances everything out. These spices transform simple vegetables into a gourmet experience, making every bite incredibly satisfying and cozy.

• Avocado Oil: Used for roasting, avocado oil is a fantastic choice due to its high smoke point and neutral flavor, allowing the natural tastes of the vegetables and spices to shine through.

Elevate Your Meal with Hilary’s Eat Well Plant-Based Sausages

For an optimal experience, this hash pairs wonderfully with Hilary’s Eat Well Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage. I discovered Hilary’s plant-based products years ago and quickly became a devoted fan. Their commitment to creating allergen-free, organic, and entirely vegan options truly stands out. Every product I’ve tried, from their “World’s Best Veggie Burger” (which absolutely lives up to its name) to their breakfast sausages, has been a revelation in taste and texture.

Hilary’s Eat Well products are a godsend for anyone seeking quick, wholesome, and trustworthy meal solutions, especially on those busy evenings when dinner needs to come together in a flash. Having a reliable, delicious plant-based patty or sausage on hand makes meal prep incredibly simple and stress-free. For this recipe, the Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage is a game-changer. Its subtle sweetness from the apple and maple, combined with a perfectly smoky flavor, harmonizes beautifully with the roasted sweet potatoes and beets. It provides that essential savory element, making the hash a complete and utterly satisfying meal.

While the Apple Maple variety is my personal favorite for this dish, Hilary’s also offers a Spicy Veggie Sausage, which would offer a delightful kick if you prefer a bit more heat. If Hilary’s Eat Well products aren’t available in your local store, don’t worry! You can still enjoy this incredible hash by pairing it with other plant-based proteins like seasoned chickpeas, crumbled tofu, or even another brand of vegan breakfast sausage to achieve a similar full-meal effect.

Simple Steps to Prepare Your Sweet Potato & Beet Breakfast Hash

One of the best aspects of this Sweet Potato & Beet Breakfast Hash is its straightforward preparation, largely thanks to a single baking pan! Here’s a quick overview of how to bring this flavorful dish to life:

1. Prep Your Veggies: Begin by cutting your sweet potatoes and peeled red beets into uniform 1/2-inch chunks. This ensures they cook evenly. Dice a red onion and set it aside.

2. Seasoning Magic: In a large bowl, combine your essential spices: smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of Himalayan sea salt. Toss everything together to create an aromatic spice blend.

3. Coat and Roast: Add the cubed sweet potatoes, beets, and red onion to the bowl with a drizzle of avocado oil. Toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are well-coated with the spices. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking pan in an even layer. It’s crucial not to overcrowd the pan; if necessary, use two pans to ensure the vegetables roast rather than steam, leading to perfect caramelization and tender interiors.

4. Add the Sausages: Roast the vegetables for an initial 20 minutes at 400°F. Then, remove the pan from the oven, stir the hash, and make space to add your Hilary’s Eat Well Apple Maple Breakfast Sausages to the same pan. This allows the sausages to cook alongside the vegetables, infusing the hash with even more flavor.

5. Finish Roasting: Return the pan to the oven and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, flipping the sausage patties halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a perfect golden crispness.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. This hash is incredibly forgiving and truly a joy to prepare, making it ideal for both novice and experienced cooks.

Serving and Storing Your Delicious Breakfast Hash

This Sweet Potato & Beet Breakfast Hash is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a variety of occasions beyond just breakfast. Enjoy a generous portion as a cozy, shared morning meal, or prepare a larger batch to savor the leftovers throughout the week. This dish reheats beautifully, especially when warmed in the oven to restore its crispy texture.

Here are some serving suggestions to elevate your hash:

• For Breakfast/Brunch: Serve it hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro. A dollop of creamy guacamole or hummus adds a rich, satisfying element. For those who enjoy a kick, a dash of hot sauce is always welcome!

• As a Side Dish: Its vibrant colors and hearty nature make this hash an excellent addition to any holiday meal or festive spread. It pairs well with roasted vegetables, plant-based roasts, or even a simple green salad.

• For Lunch: Transform leftovers into a light yet fulfilling lunch by serving them over a bed of fresh mixed greens. The warmth of the hash slightly wilts the greens, creating a delightful texture contrast. Add a drizzle of tahini dressing for an extra layer of flavor.

• Custom Toppings: Don’t limit yourself! Experiment with different toppings such as sliced avocado for healthy fats, a swirl of maple syrup for added sweetness, or classic ketchup for a familiar comfort. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor each serving to your personal preference.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For the best taste and texture, especially concerning the Hilary’s patties, it’s recommended to only bake as many sausages as you plan to consume in one sitting. Reheat the hash in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes, and bake fresh patties to accompany it for a perfectly satisfying meal.
