Ingredients and Substitutions
This hash includes lots of my favorites, but you can easily substitute your favorite ingredients or use what you have on hand.
- Sweet potatoes - I love the sweetness of these spuds, but feel free to use Russets, Yukon golds, fingerlings, or whatever you love.
- Brussels sprouts - Roasted sprouts have a delicious, almost nutty, flavor. Shop your fridge and add what you have on hand - peppers, mushrooms, carrots, fennel, and kale are just a few options.
- Bacon - Bacon (or pancetta) and Brussels sprouts are a match made in heaven, like in this pancetta and lemon Brussels sprouts pasta. Classic corned beef, ham, sausage, pulled pork, or leftover turkey are great add-ins.
- Onion - Both yellow and red onions are delicious. You can also use leeks, shallots, or scallions.
- Spices - We're keeping it pretty basic with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. I also added Chinese five-spice powder to the sweet potatoes. The warmth of this spice pairs so well with the sweetness of the potatoes.

Step-by-step instructions
Please see the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.
- Peel (optional) the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Trim the Brussels sprouts, quartering the larger ones and halving the smaller ones.
- Add to two sheet pans. Toss with oil and seasonings and roast until caramelized and tender. TIP: Be careful not to crowd the vegetables on the pan. If crowded, they will steam, and we want them to brown and caramelize.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon until brown and crisp in a cast-iron skillet. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove the excess bacon drippings, leaving about one tablespoon in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the drippings and sauté until softened.
- Add the roasted vegetables and bacon and stir to combine.
Recipe FAQs
The peel of sweet potato is edible, so it is not necessary to peel. When sweet potatoes are used in dessert, it is best to peel them. But for savory dishes like hash, it's a matter of personal preference.
Roasting the sprouts caramelizes the edges, which gives them some texture while leaving them tender on the inside.
To roast, spread the sprouts out on a sheet pan without crowding to ensure even cooking. Crowding the pan will cause the sprouts to steam which will turn them soggy.
Sweet potatoes are a very healthy way to start the day. They are rich in vitamin A, fiber, and healthy carbohydrates. Add eggs for protein for a delicious breakfast.

Ingredients
- 12 ounces Brussels sprouts (halved or quartered)
- 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes)
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon (cut into 1-inch pieces )
- 1 large yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Add the halved/quartered Brussels sprouts to a sheet pan. Drizzle with one tablespoon olive oil and toss. Season with ⅛ teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- To another sheet pan, add the cubed sweet potato. Drizzle with the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Season with the remaining spices: ⅛ teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice powder.
- Roast the vegetables for 15-20 minutes until brown and caramelized.
- Meanwhile, in a cast-iron skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon until brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain the excess grease, leaving about one tablespoon in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion and saute in the bacon drippings until soft and translucent.
- Add the roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potato to the skillet along with the bacon. Toss to combine. Season with extra salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve alone or with eggs.
Notes
- Leftover roasted vegetables can be substituted. Add in leftover turkey, pulled pork, ham, or corned beef.
- Be careful not to crowd the vegetables on the pans. If crowded, the veggies will steam and not brown and caramelize.
