Ingredients + Variations
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 potatoes. 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 of course, are 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 tablespoons of chickpea water.
- Dressing – The dressing is a creamy mix of tahini, a little lemon juice, pinch of salt, and sriracha. It’s minimal but tastes amazing, adding the perfect finishing touch. If you prefer a not-so-spicy sauce, just the lemon is perfect. For variation, try this Sriracha Cashew Cream Sauce!

Thank you for sharing your yummy recipies. Quick queries…are the sweet potatoes prepped raw or cooked? And did you say you can top just with lemon…or even orange…juice or add it to the tahini?
You’re welcome, Joe! :) The sweet potatoes are prepped raw and baked with the other veggies. The lemon is mixed in with the tahini. I hope that helps. Enjoy!
