One Pan Vegan Sweet Potato Hash
Good morning everyone! I am so excited to share another savory recipe with you all today. A few weeks ago, I wanted to make a vegan hash for breakfast, so I threw a bunch of ingredients together in a pan that I had in my fridge, along with some spices, and it turned out surprisingly delicious.
After making a few tweaks, I got the recipe absolutely perfect, and it is ready to share with you all. It is absolutely packed with nutrients and super versatile. The sweet potato hash combines some of my favorite vegetables, like sweet potatoes, yellow onion, zucchini, and fresh garlic.
My two favorite ways that I have eaten it so far are for breakfast along with some mashed avocado on sourdough toast, and for lunch paired with some avocado and black beans.
I would definitely consider this recipe to be a side dish, as it is a good carb and vegetable source, but it doesn’t include much fat or protein. That’s why I love to pair it with ingredients like avocado and black beans.
I bet it would also be delicious paired with cooked tofu, so I definitely need to try that concoction next. Either way, it is a simple, quick, and incredibly delicious dish, so I knew I had to share it with you guys.
Best of all, it is a one pan recipe, so there isn’t much clean up, which I appreciate on super busy days. So, let’s go ahead and get into the ingredients you will need to create this one pan sweet potato hash.
One Pan Vegan Sweet Potato Hash – Ingredients
- Sweet Potato – The sweet potato makes up the bulk of this hash. I absolutely love sweet potatoes, but if you aren’t a fan, you could easily substitute a regular sweet potato for this ingredient.
- Yellow Onion – The chopped yellow onion adds a ton of flavor to this sweet potato hash recipe, and it serves as the next key ingredient.
- Red Bell Pepper – The chopped red bell pepper adds natural sweetness, color, and flavor to this sweet potato hash recipe.
- Zucchini – Zucchini is one of my absolute favorite vegetables. It gets nice and soft when you fry it up, which makes it the perfect addition to this sweet potato hash, and the fourth key ingredient.
- Fresh Garlic – Not only does garlic add nutrients and flavor to this recipe, but it also has some powerful immune boosting properties. I love adding it to my savory dishes, and this one is no exception.
- Cumin – The cumin adds spice and flavor to this sweet potato hash. A little bit goes a long ways with this ingredient.
- Nutritional Yeast Seasoning – The nutritional yeast adds a slight nutty/cheesy flavor to the sweet potato hash, as well as a nice source of vitamin B12. It is the perfect ingredient to complete this sweet potato hash recipe.
- Salt + Pepper – These two ingredients are the ones that I typically leave up to personal taste. Everyone has their own ideal amount of salt and pepper that they enjoy in their savory dishes, so I usually don’t add much (if any) to my recipes.
Instead, I leave it up to you guys to add as much or little salt and pepper to your dish as you’d like. That way, it fits your personal preferences and optimizes the flavor. I personally enjoy more pepper and less salt than most people.

Notes
I hope you guys are loving these savory recipes recently! I have always enjoyed making sweeter meals and snacks over savory ones, especially when it comes to recipe creating.
However, in recent years, I have come to truly enjoy my savory meals as well. I also appreciate all the nutrients they are packed with. When you add the right spices and seasonings, you truly can transform a typically boring dish. I think this dish is a perfect example of that!
I categorized this as a side dish because I don’t think it would be filling enough to eat by itself as a full meal. However, with even one or two simple additions, you could make it into a meal.
I added black beans and avocado and it was the perfect quick and simple lunch. I think I am going to try adding tofu and avocado next time for a protein packed savory breakfast. The point is, there are many ways to use this dish! Anyways, I will be back with another recipe soon.
Sending happiness & light your way!
