Roasted Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Hash
Enjoying a delicious, relaxing Sunday Brunch is one of my favorite meals of the week. I usually cook an egg dish, whether a quiche, omelet, or veggie scramble. In this segment, I will share a simple, delicious side that goes great with eggs and one you can also serve for dinner with meat or chicken—My Roasted Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Hash! This recipe can be made with VEGAN sausage or traditional sweet Italian sausage.
Roasted Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Hash
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, cubed
- 2 c. butternut squash, cubed
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 yellow pepper, diced
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 2 c. baby spinach leaves (or kale)
- 22 Italian sausages (vegan or regular)
- 1/4 c. fresh basil, chopped
- 1 T. Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- black pepper, few dashes
- extra virgin olive oil (or spray)
Instructions
Roasting the Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash
- Preheat oven to 425 Degrees F
- Using a potato peeler, remove the skins of potatoes and squash (and seeds in squash)
- Cut potatoes and squash into small cubes and place in a large bowl
- Mix potatoes and squash in olive oil, garlic salt and powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and basil
- Spray a cookie sheet with oil and spread potatoes and squash over the pan
- Roast in the oven for 40 minutes until cubes are soft (but not mushy). You can parboil the potatoes and squash for quicker roasting.*
The Sauté
- While potatoes and squash are roasting, in a large skillet on the stovetop over low heat, sauté onions, peppers, spinach, and diced sausage until the sausage is cooked, onions are translucent, and peppers are soft. (Note: Add in 2 T. water to help soften peppers)
- When potatoes and squash are roasted, place them into the skillet with the sauté and cook for another few minutes
- Serve hot, or refrigerate the mixture and serve later
Notes
*You can parboil the potatoes and squash for quicker roasting. However, it’s actually easier to cube and roast! This dish pairs well with eggs, meat, chicken, or with or in a green salad. Make it with VEGAN sausage or traditional sweet Italian sausage. ©2023, MaryannRidiniSpencer.com/SimplyDeliciousLiving
