A little sweet, a little savory, with a zesty kick, this Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprout Hash is a flavor-packed anytime dish.
Hash meals are absolute STAPLES in our kitchen. They can be made in a multitude of ways and always turn out great. Swap in different veggies, potatoes, proteins, and seasonings to create a whole new mix every time! One combo that is frequently repeated in our house is this Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprout Hash. It combines caramelized veggies, tender potatoes, crispy sprouts, oven "fried" eggs, and a kick off BBQ for a unique yet utterly satisfying combination you'll want to make over and over again.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Potatoes
Any potato variety will do, but our favorite is sweet potatoes, which lend themselves well to this sweet/savory combination.
Red Onion
Caramelized red onion will always remain one of my favorite flavors EVER! IDon't have red onion on hand? Shallots as well as yellow or white onion are perfect swaps.
Bell Peppers
Pick your peppers! Choose your favorite colors or use whatever you've got on hand. We love red for a colorful pop, but honestly usually pull whatever we've got pre-diced and frozen on hand.
Brussels Sprouts
For convenience sake, we love frozen petite sprouts. A quick partial defrost in the microwave and they are ready to go! Fresh Brussels sprouts are great too. If you're not into sprouts, swap with any favorite veggie. Broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, and asparagus are all delicious alternatives.
Eggs
Where eggs go, we follow. What's that old saying? "When in doubt, throw an egg on it". Well, maybe that's not an official saying but we're here for it. Other tasty proteins include crumbled bacon, ground sausage, and shredded rotisserie chicken.
Seasoning
Our tried and true dry seasoning is McCormick's Grill Mates BBQ seasoning. It's sweet, perfectly smoky, and adds a pop to any dish. Feel free to get creative and use your favorite seasonings!
HOW TO MAKE
This hash is a simple one-pot meal. To avoid overfilling skillet and achieve even caramelization of all vegetables, we recommend sautéing in batches.
Step 1
We cook our Brussels sprouts first, until golden and crisp. Once cooked, remove them from the pan.
Step 2
Add the onion and peppers. This is where the flavor really builds. Cook together until onions begin to turn translucent and peppers begin to soften.
Step 3
As the onion and peppers continue to cook, add the sweet potatoes. Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork. At this point, add the Brussels sprouts back in.
Step 4
It's time to add our eggs! You can crack eggs into a small dish and transfer them to the skillet, or if you feel confident, you can crack them directly onto the skillet.
Step 5
Finally, it's time to bake! Cook eggs to desired doneness. Then enjoy!
This hash makes a perfect hearty breakfast, easy weekday meal, or addition to any brunch spread!

This looks extremely delicious! My mom used to cook a similar hash when I was a kid, so I have developed a personal fondness for Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes. My family is a very stereotypically southern bunch, so this hash is definitely something I would love to find sitting in a cast-iron skillet on the stove when I get home for summer break.
Looks absolutely incredible, and i will be making this soon. One of my favorite side foods has always been sweet potato fries, and i always go out of my way to get them at restaurants. My mom also use to make brussel sprouts in a honey mixture, so those two things together i can only imagine make a very good hash. Can't wait to try.
This recipe looks amazing! I love both brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, but usually, I am kind of a picky eater so I do not branch out on what I cook. This definitely looks like something that is enjoyable and quick to make! I can't wait to make this tomorrow night!
We made this for a family dinner and it was delicious. We do not have a cast iron skillet but we cooked it in a skillet that can go in the oven and it worked out well. It was delicious. My brother-in-law called it a, “yummy Mediterranean salad.” It was a great way to get more vegetables in to our dinner and was very popular.
This recipe looks so delicious! While I can't make it since I live in a dorm, I can't wait to make this when I go home for summer. My mom and I are both vegetarian so we can't wait to make this together! Brussels sprouts, peppers, and sweet potato are my absolute favorite vegetables so this is first on my try list!
I wanted to make this recipe but I live in a dorm so I sent it to my mom to try. She loved it so much she has now made it 5 times in 3 weeks! She likes that you can use different vegetables (though she suggests always using at least the brussel sprouts as the base) and that it's both quick and delicious. She said the eggs add great flavor. I can't wait to make it when I go home!
I am looking forward to adding this meal into my Saturday meal plan! Any form of a hash is my favorite way of incorporating a healthier meal with a busy lifestyle. I wonder though, will it taste the same if cooked on a regular pan and not a traditional skillet?
This looks so good! Making hash's are my favorite and brussels and sweet potatoes are the best so I am definitely giving this one a try.
Hi Emma, love to hear that! We hope you enjoy!
This looks super amazing, I am a vegetarian so this is something I definitely will try when I go back home! Thanks!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy!
