This healthy and easy Sweet Potato Hash recipe will soon become a weekly staple for your breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Soft roasted sweet potatoes, fuji apples, raisins, and crisp sunflower seeds create the perfect medley of sweet and savory flavor with amazing texture.
Top with creamy avocado, sunny side up eggs, or a hearty plant-based breakfast patty to add a real boost to this hash. I love how quick this recipe is and that it’s suitable for any meal of the day. It’s naturally gluten free, dairy free, and can be made vegan too so that everyone can enjoy!

Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes – I suggest peeling the sweet potatoes for a softer texture and more even roast time.
Fuji Apples – Feel free to use whatever apple variety you’d like. I chose fuji for their crisp texture that softens while baking and the subtle sweetness they have. Honeycrisp would also be another great option!
Olive Oil – This healthy fat helps soften the hash ingredients while roasting and adds a robust flavor when paired with salt and pepper.
Sunflower Seeds – One of my favorite ways to add texture to a dish is with seeds. Sunflower seeds give a neutral yet slightly salty flavor to this sweet potato hash that’s absolutely delicious!
Raisins – I love the soft texture and sweet flavor of raisins in contrast to the rest of this breakfast hash. I used traditional red grape raisins but you could also use golden.
Vegetarian Sausage Patties – If you’re looking for more protein or savory flavor for this breakfast hash, try adding your favorite veggie patty. I’ve been loving these Pure Farmland Breakfast Patties that are like sausage but are 100% plant based.
How to Make Sweet Potato Apple Hash
You’ll be amazed at how delicious and simple it is to make this easy sweet potato hash recipe. With a few minutes of prep work you’ll be able to put everything together and get it in the oven and roasting in no time!
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- To a large bowl, add the cubed sweet potatoes, apples, sunflower seeds, salt & pepper, and olive oil.
- Add to the parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 400F for 30 minutes.
- Remove the sheet tray from the oven, increase the oven temperature to 425F, and add the raisins. Stir the hash before returning it to the oven to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until sweet potato is cooked through and has started to brown on the bottoms.
- Remove and serve into bowls with your preferred toppings. My favorites are a plant-based sausage patty, sliced avocado, sautéed mushrooms, and over-easy eggs. Leave off the eggs to keep this hash vegan!
Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
Once everything is roasted and ready to eat, I like to add some fun and tasty toppings. To keep this hash entirely vegan, I suggest adding avocado and sauteed mushrooms. You could also try out these plant based breakfast patties or something similar. Just to add some extra protein, texture, and flavor!
My usual add-on to this sweet potato hash though is always a sunny side up egg (or two). As a pescatarian it’s a great form of added protein for me and I love the flavor + texture of a proper sunny side up! I think it’d be equally as delicious with scrambled, fried, or even a poached egg as well.
