This Easy Sweet Potato Broccoli Breakfast Hash is easy, customizable and full of flavor. You can top it with eggs or leave it vegan.
I have been making this hash for breakfast for years, I still have yet to get tired of it.
This recipe is great on the weekends but even better for those busy workweeks. You can heat up the combo in the microwave and add a hardboiled egg afterwards while you are at the office.
You can also add extra protein by sautéing some chicken apple sausages. The sweet potato really brings out the apple flavor in the sausages and it makes this meal a total powerhouse of nutrients.
How to perfect your sweet potatoes
I like to lightly microwave my sweet potatoes before I bake, air fry or sauté them. Microwaving them a bit will take some of the moisture out so they get a little more crispy on the outside. It will also speed up the process so you aren't eating raw potatoes with overcooked veggies.
I suggest buying organic sweet potatoes and leaving the skin on them. The skin has some of the most dense nutrients and if it's organic you will feel a lot more safe to eat the skin. Should you still decide to take the skin off - peel the potatoes. My recipe leaves the skin on.
My favorite spices for Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash are always salt, chipotle powder, garlic powder and paprika. I change my seasoning and spices often on my mixes but this is my most used combination with all of my Sweet potato recipes like my Coconut Bread which is a little more work with some more veggies and cheese but equally as delicious.

Really appreciate this recipe!! I made it MANY times especially at the beginning of the COVID pandemic shutdowns 2 years ago, and I was trying to eat healthy but tasty breakfast. This was my favorite hash recipe. I just came across it again and wanted to say thanks!
