Easy simple paleo sweet potato hash recipe with caramelized garlic and onions. You can’t go wrong with this easy crispy dish!

This paleo sweet potato hash recipe is for all you sweet potato lovers! I don’t know about you, but I almost never ate sweet potatoes growing up.

I really only remember having sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving.

Now sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables to cook with any time of year!

I love a batch of roasted sweet potatoes in enchiladas, or as a hash to go with my breakfast which is where this recipe comes in.

My simple vegan breakfast hash recipe was a hit, so I used a similar method to make the most delicious sweet potato breakfast hash.

Sweet Potato Hash Ingredients

• sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed: I do not recommend using frozen sweet potatoes for this recipe.
• yellow onion: or any sweeter onion
• fresh garlic: not the jarred stuff. Fresh is best here.
• spices (garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, pepper, paprika)
• olive oil: or any neutral oil, for roasting

How to make sweet potato hash

Step 1: peel and chop 2 – 3 large sweet potatoes (you will need around 6 cups worth of diced sweet potato).

Step 2: Place the sweet potatoes in a glass casserole dish, and sprinkle them with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika. Drizzle with olive oil to coat (up to ⅓ cup).

Stir it around well to cover all of the sweet potatoes. 

Step 3: Roast in the oven at 450 degrees for 55 – 65 minutes, stirring 3 – 4 times.

Each time you stir the sweet potatoes, use a spatula to scrape up any edges that have stuck to the pan.

This will help make sure that the sweet potatoes get as crispy as possible!

Once the sweet potatoes are almost done, check them more often to make sure they do not burn. 

Step 4: Once your sweet potatoes have about 15 minutes left, it’s time to make the caramelized garlic and onion.

You will be surprised at just how much depth of flavor is added just with a little fresh garlic and onion.

Next, add your garlic and onion to a skillet with a touch of olive oil, then cook it for 12 – 15 minutes, until browned and soft.

We want the garlic and onion to be caramelized but not burnt.

Stir often to avoid overcooking it too quickly.

Once your sweet potatoes have finished roasting, add the cooked garlic and onion to the casserole dish and stir to combine.

Your sweet potato hash is ready to serve!

This is the part where I just have to eat some straight out of the pan.

My only problem is stopping long enough to grab a plate!

Thanks to 450 degree roasting and a glass dish, you will get those yummy crispy bits on your sweet potatoes.

This is where all the flavor comes from!

Slow roasted is the way to go with potatoes.

This gives them so much flavor.

While sweet potatoes themselves won’t get totally crispy, those edges give this dish tons of flavor and texture.

What to serve with sweet potato hash

This sweet potato breakfast hash would be perfect served with my tofu scramble recipe for a hearty vegan breakfast.

It would be delicious alongside my egg muffin cups.

It would also make a great side dish for dinner!

Such a delicious and easy to make addition to your breakfast!
