    Who doesn't love the leftover food from vegan holidays? There's always enough to go around, and it's so delicious. I always have trouble resisting going back for seconds… or thirds!

    This chorizo sweet potato hash inspired our rosemary and marmite roast potatoes and our hashbrown breakfast casserole; both delicious side dishes that pair well with all kinds of Christmas and Thanksgiving main courses you can imagine. It has lots of umami flavors brought by vegan chorizo and all the softness from roasted potatoes.

    I like to have our holiday breakfast with a big glass of carrot, apple, and celery juice and a cappuccino made with homemade oat milk! Oh yes!

    • Sweet potatoes provide a sweet, earthy flavor and a hearty texture.
    • Brussels sprouts add a slightly bitter, nutty flavor and a crunchy texture to the dish.
    • Vegan chorizo adds a spicy, savory flavor and provides a meaty texture.
    • Onions add a sweet and savory flavor to the dish and enhance the other ingredients.
    • Fresh garlic cloves add a pungent, savory flavor to and enhance the other spices and ingredients.
    • Smoked paprika adds a smoky, slightly sweet flavor and enhances the other spices and ingredients.
    • Ground cumin adds a warm, earthy flavor to the dish and enhances the other spices and ingredients.
    • Chili powder adds a spicy kick to the dish and enhances the other spices and ingredients.
    • Olive oil is used for cooking vegetables, adding richness to the dish, and providing healthy fats.
    • Salt and pepper are used to season the dish and bring out the natural flavors of the other ingredients.
    • See the recipe card for quantities.

    Substitutions

    • Sweet potatoes – you can replace them with yams and even with regular potatoes for a more savory dish. Also, there are different types of sweet potatoes with purple or white flesh; they all work for this vegetarian sweet potato hash. Other root vegetables like rutabaga also work.
    • Brussels sprouts – use cabbage wedges instead.
    • Vegan chorizo - feel free you use vegan sausage or our spiced crumbled tofu instead. You can also replace it with red bell peppers or green bell pepper to make this Whole Foods Plant-Based diet-friendly dish. (in this case, also omit the olive oil).
    • Yellow onion - for a sweeter note, you can choose sweet onions like red ones.
    • Spices – this spice mix makes a relatively mild hash, but the chili powder can be increased or decreased to taste. You can also replace cumin with coriander, omit the chili and use spicy smoked paprika or sweet paprika instead.
    • Garlic cloves - you can simply sprinkle a little garlic powder just right before turning the baking sheet into the oven or toss half a teaspoon with the rest of the spices.

    🍽 Equipment

    You only need a mixing bowl and just one pan sheet. Alternatively, you can use an oven-proof large cast iron skillet.

    🔪 Instructions

    Cut the sweet potatoes into small dice and quarter the Brussels sprouts. Thinly slice the onions. You can choose to leave the sweet potato skins on.

    Hint: try to cut sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

    Step 1: Combine all spices with the vegetable in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.

    Step 5: Place sheet pan in a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through. Bake the chorizo sweet potato hash until the vegetables look golden brown.

    Hint: be sure to clean the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts thoroughly, as they might sometimes come with lots of dirt.

    Optional toppings: add fresh herbs like thyme or sliced green onions' tops to serve this chorizo sweet potato hash.

    💡 Expert tips

    Ensure even cooking by cutting the sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts into similar-sized pieces. This helps them roast at the same rate, achieving a uniform texture throughout the dish.

    For a deeper flavor, consider roasting the spices with the vegetables. Tossing the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with spices like smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder before baking can enhance their flavors, giving the dish a more complex taste profile.

    Don't overcrowd the pan. Spread the vegetables and vegan chorizo out in a single layer on the sheet pan to ensure they roast properly. Overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than roasting, which might result in softer, less crispy vegetables.

    Experiment with the level of spiciness to suit your taste. The vegan chorizo adds a nice kick, but you can adjust the heat by adding more or less chili powder or by incorporating spicy smoked paprika.

    Remember to turn the vegetables halfway through baking. This ensures all sides get nicely browned and crispy, enhancing the overall texture and flavor of the hash.

    📖 Variations

    Spicy - serve this vegan breakfast hash with hot sauce for an extra spice kick.

    Deluxe - served with avocado hummus.

    🥢 How to serve

    Serve these roasted sweet potatoes for breakfast as a main dish by themselves with vegan bread buns.

    I also love serving this breakfast hash recipe with sliced avocado, vegan carrot bacon, or maple-glazed carrots as a side dish.

    ❓ FAQ

    Do you need to peel sweet potatoes?

    No, just be sure to scrub them well and remove any eyes or other imperfections; However, sweet potato skin can be a little tough, so if you prefer a softer texture, you can peel them.

    How to clean Brussels sprouts?

    If you want to clean Brussels sprouts, you should start by cutting off the stem and discarding it. Then, cut the Brussels sprouts in half to expose the core. Finally, use a paring knife to slice away any brown spots or blemishes on the outside of the vegetable. Once they're all cleaned up, you can cook them however you'd like!

    🥡 Storage

    Fridge – store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat and crisp back up in the oven or air fryer.

    Freezer – can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months. It can be reheated from frozen.
