This Sweet Potato Hash is an easy, flavourful and healthy side dish that will have you craving sweet potatoes all the time! It’s so versatile that you can serve it up for breakfast, lunch or dinner! {gluten-free, paleo & vegan}
Sweet potatoes are something that our whole family loves, including baby, so I’m always trying to find new and interesting ways to serve them up.
So far, some of our top recipe picks are:
Sweet potato lentil tater tots
Pesto chicken stuffed sweet potatoes
Cinnamon paprika sweet potato fries
As much as we love these recipes, there’s only so many times you can make the same recipes before they start getting a little, well, old.
Time to switch it up!
I had some red pepper, sweet potato and cilantro to use up, so I decided to combine it all together to come up with this delicious Sweet Potato Hash.
It was so simple, yet SO flavourful.
How to Make this Easy Sweet Potato Hash
First, you’ll need to cut up the sweet potato, onion, and red pepper into about 1-inch pieces. Try to make them roughly the same size so that they finish cooking at the same time.
Next, toss into a medium-sized bowl along with some olive oil, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper until well combined.
Spread out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes, flipping half way through the cooking time.
Remove them from the oven once the sweet potatoes and vegetables are soft and serve immediately.

Why everyone needs more sweet potatoes in their life
I can’t talk highly enough about sweet potatoes because there are so many nutritional benefits associated with them!
Sweet potatoes are:
- Lower on the glycemic index than your typical white potato, which means that they may play a role in stabilizing or lowering blood sugar
- High in fibre with almost 4 grams of fibre for one medium-sized sweet potato
- Rich in beta-carotene (higher than any other vegetable, in fact!), which is a powerful antioxidant that can help guard against certain cancers and heart disease
- An excellent source of vitamin C. One half cup serving offers 21 milligrams of vitamin C, which is almost one-third of a day’s requirement for women and one-quarter of a day’s worth for men. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of niacin and vitamin B6.
You totally want to go out and get some sweet potatoes now, right?!
