Ingredients You’ll Need
Here is everything you will need for this sheet pan breakfast hash, including substitutions and variations:
- Sweet Potatoes – These orange-fleshed tubers are delicious in this recipe, but feel free to change it up using your favorite type of potato. I’ve made this potato breakfast hash with gold potatoes, and sometimes, I’ll use a combo of the two. Whatever potato you decide to use, you’ll need roughly 1 1/2 pounds; about three large will do.
- Bell Peppers – The combination of green and red bell peppers is my favorite. You can mix and match various bell pepper colors to suit your taste or use what you have on hand.
- Onion – Use your favorite onion. Any will do – yellow, white, or red.
- Chickpeas – Chickpeas add a fair amount of protein and fiber to this potato breakfast hash and are, of course delicious!
- Spices – We’ll be keeping it simple by using just garlic powder, mineral salt and fresh cracked pepper, allowing the flavors of the produce to shine through, even just salt and pepper would do. And if you have garlic-flavored olive oil on hand, by all means use it!
- Oil – Use your favorite neutral-flavored oil. To make this oil-free, try tossing the veggies with a couple of tablespoons of chickpea water.
- Dressing – The dressing is a creamy mix of tahini, lemon juice, salt, and Sriracha. It’s minimal but tastes amazing and adds the perfect finishing touch. If you prefer a less spicy sauce, just the lemon is perfect. For variation, try this Sriracha Cashew Cream Sauce!

Taste amazing. I only roasted it once (at 425 f at the same amount of time) since it was already done
Wasn’t a fan of the sauce but that’s a personal preference.
