❤️ Why You'll Love this Recipe
Quick & Easy - This sweet potato apple breakfast hash recipe is something of a Dash of Jazz classic, if there is such a thing. You're looking at the first recipe I ever published, and it has stood the test of time because it comes together quickly with no fancy tools or techniques.
One Pan Perfection - Everything cooks together on a sheet pan in the oven so the sweet potato and apples get tender, the sausage is warmed through and a lil crispy on the edges, and the nuts provide a nice crunchy contrast.
Full of Flavor - This baked sweet potato hash recipe hits all the right flavor notes. You'll taste natural sweetness and fruity tartness, rounded out by sweet warming spices. And it's savory with subtle smokiness.
Meal Prep Magic - When I used to work in an office, the aroma of me reheating my hash in the morning would always make my coworkers swoon. And it tastes even better!
I love the hands-off magic of baked breakfast ideas. Check out my blueberry sheet pancakes, spinach & mushroom scrambled egg bites, and protein-packed oatmeal cups next!
I made this breakfast hash for a celebratory brunch yesterday and we had no leftovers. The sweetness from the apples balances out the mild sweet potatoes and the sage sausage patties I used. I'll definitely be making this recipe often, especially as fall approaches.

What You'll Need for this Recipe
Sweet Potatoes are loaded with nutrients and add fiber to your breakfast plate. I typically include Jewel Sweet potatoes in this recipe, but use any variety of sweet potato you like, including Japanese sweet potatoes and even purple sweet potatoes!
Apples add more fiber and sweet or tart flavor to the mix, depending on which kind you pick. I love Honeycrisp apples here, but most any apple variety would work.
Sausage adds protein and savory breakfast vibes. I use precooked sausage patties, but you could also use links. Make your breakfast hash with sweet potato and chicken sausage, with turkey sausage, pork, whatever--go for the brand you typically have with breakfast.
Raisins get a bad wrap, but I love them in this sheet pan hash. They hold it down on sweetness, so there's no need to add sugar or any other sweetener to the mix. Either brown or golden raisins will work.

Substitutions & Variations
Nuts - I prefer walnuts in this recipe, but have tried it with other nuts, including pecans and peanuts.
With or Without Eggs - I make my hash with no egg, but you can customize your by cracking a few eggs directly into the pan during the last 10 minutes of baking, tossing scrambled eggs into the finished dish, or serving with a poached egg over top.
Vegan - Use plant-based sausage patties or even links, and just cut them per the recipe instructions to make your sweet potato hash recipe vegan or vegetarian.
How to Make Sweet Potato Hash for Breakfast
- Step 1: Cut the sweet potato, apple, and sausage into cubes.
- Step 2: Spread all the ingredients in a single layer on a sheet pan.
Pro Tip #1
Try to cut all the pieces to about the same size for even cooking. This will prevent some elements from being burnt while others are undercooked.
- Step 3: Bake in the oven until the ingredients are fully cooked and tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Store your baked breakfast hash in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for up to seven days.
How to Serve
Serve your high protein hash warm--I reheat mine either in the microwave or air fryer for a lil crispy factor. Enjoy it topped with a poached egg for more protein and restaurant-style presentation.
This is a balanced breakfas, but could even work for lunch or dinner in a pinch--ask me how I know!
What makes this recipe healthy for PCOS?
Balanced Meals with ample protein, fiber, and healthy fats have been show to support insulin regulation, hormonal balance, and appetite regulation in women with PCOS. (Cleveland Clinic) This meal checks all those boxes, but I like to double the amount of sausage or use my high-protein chicken sausage recipe to make it better.
Complex Carbohydrates, like those found in sweet potatoes, take longer to digest, which helps prevent sharp spikes and crashes in blood glucose. (Harvard School of Public Health) This is good for women with PCOS focusing on blood sugar and weight management.
Cinnamon has been shown to be as effective as Metformin in reducing insulin resistance in clinical trials. (NIH) So, I make sure to add an extra sprinkle. 😊
And if you are gluten-free, doing Whole30, or even paleo, this hash is also compliant!
