Ingredients

Equipment

• Large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan
• Cutting board
• Chef’s knife
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Bowl for mixing
• Optional: parchment paper for easier cleanup

Instructions

1. Prepare your vegetables. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Halve the Brussels sprouts, dice the onion and red bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
2. Heat the skillet. Place your large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow it to warm until shimmering but not smoking.
3. Sauté the onions and garlic. Add the diced onions to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Add the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Toss in the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine and spread them evenly in the pan.
5. Season and cook. Sprinkle smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the Brussels sprouts are golden and crispy on the edges.
6. Add the red bell pepper and cranberries. Mix in the diced red bell pepper and dried cranberries. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
7. Adjust seasoning. Taste the hash and add more salt, pepper, or smoked paprika as needed to suit your preference.
8. Finish with fresh parsley. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
9. Serve warm. Spoon the hash onto plates and enjoy immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with eggs or your favorite holiday protein.

Tips & Variations

For a quicker version, use Trader Joe’s frozen diced sweet potatoes and pre-shredded Brussels sprouts.

Try adding a splash of Trader Joe’s balsamic glaze or maple syrup at the end for a sweet tangy finish.

If you want to boost the protein, toss in some cooked chickpeas or black beans during the last few minutes of cooking. For a spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes or add a diced jalapeño with the bell pepper.

This hash also works beautifully as a stuffing for baked sweet potatoes or as a filling in your veggie quesadilla recipe Indian style. For a more indulgent twist, top it with vegan cheese or a dollop of dairy-free sour cream.
