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!

This was so good! Thank you! Especially the tahini sauce – so easy and sooo tasty!
THIS. IS. SO GOOD. I have 3 picky eaters at home and I had just recently made sweet potato wedges which convinced them that healthy food CAN taste good…. what!? I happened to stumble across this recipe and HAD to try it, as I love chickpeas as well! And let me just say that this is the first healthy breakfast that everyone loved and wanted more!! They even loved the sauce! A quick adaptation I made the second time around was in the last 5 minutes of baking I cracked 3 eggs in little “pockets” I made on the tray and that was yummyyyyy. Thanks again for a great breakfast!
I started weekly meal prepping for my vegetarian son recently. This was one of the first recipes I tried for him and he loved it and requests it every week.!! Myself, I had never eaten a chick pea in my life and live on all the wrong foods to eat..but when I tasted this..I said OMG..I can really eat healthy and enjoy it!! And never would have thought that onions and sweet potatoes would be a good combo…I was so wrong!! It was truly delicious! His dad said he thinks our son is secretly trying to lead us to a life of healthier eating lol and that’s a wonderful thing!! Thank you.
this was so good!!!
Has anyone tried to freeze this? I love making a big weekend batch and freezing individual sizes for work day eating.

Could this be made in an air fryer? No oven in my camper, but it sounds great! Going to give it a try!
Hi Tina, so sorry for the late response. I’ve never worked with an air fryer, but it’s on my to-do list. Would love to know how it went!
