Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Sweet potatoes (peeled and diced) 2 medium (about 3 cups)
Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved) 2 cups
Parsnips (peeled and diced) 1 cup
Red bell pepper (deseeded and diced) 1 medium
Yellow onion (diced) 1 medium
Garlic cloves (minced) 3 cloves
Olive oil 3 tablespoons
Fresh rosemary (chopped) 1 tablespoon
Fresh thyme (leaves only) 1 tablespoon
Smoked paprika 1 teaspoon
Salt 1 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper (freshly ground) ½ teaspoon, or to taste
Maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness) 1 tablespoon
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish) 2 tablespoons

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Oven preheated to 400°F (200°C)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, diced parsnips, diced red bell pepper, and yellow onion.
  3. Add olive oil and seasoning: Drizzle the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Sauté the garlic: While the vegetables roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and gently sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  6. Combine and finish cooking: Once the vegetables are roasted and tender, add them to the skillet with the garlic. If using, drizzle the maple syrup over the hash and toss to combine. Cook together for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the hash to develop a slight crisp on the edges.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hash with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

“For an extra festive touch, consider adding roasted chestnuts or dried cranberries to the hash just before serving. These add delightful textures and bursts of sweetness that complement the savory vegetables perfectly.”

You can customize this hash depending on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Swap parsnips for turnips or add diced butternut squash for even more fall flavor.

If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes during the seasoning step.

For protein, consider topping the hash with a fried or poached egg, or serve alongside your favorite vegan sausage. This recipe also pairs wonderfully with homemade vegan bread, like our soft and delicious Vegan Flour Tortilla Recipe Easy, Soft, and Homemade.
