This vegetarian sweet potato breakfast hash is perfect for a holiday or weekend brunch. It's easy to make, healthy, and, most importantly – delicious! The combination of sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and vegan chorizo will please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftovers. So give this recipe a try – I promise you won't be disappointed!
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!

🔪 Instructions

Hint: try to cut sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Combine all spices with the vegetable in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetable on a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
Crumble the vegan chorizo, top the vegetables with it, and add garlic cloves with their skins.
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.
🍶 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.
🥢 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.

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

❓ FAQ
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.
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!
