Meet your new favorite breakfast dish – Vegan Autumn Harvest Hash!

Traditionally, “hash” refers to a mixture of pretty much any chopped or diced ingredients that are fried together, but all too often, the results are heavily skewed towards greasy meat and potatoes.

There’s such a wide range of vibrant, fresh vegetables that could brighten your plate instead! This version is an easy, hands-off method that turns the concept into a sheet pan meal that essentially cooks itself.

Vegetables for Vegan Autumn Harvest Hash

Here, autumnal vegetables like kabocha, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts roast until golden and tender, with herbs, a splash of vinegar, and toasted pecans for richness and crunch. It tastes like Thanksgiving on the plate, anytime you’re craving something a bit more festive.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉ degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red onion, garlic, kabocha, rutabaga, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts.
  • Drizzle with the apple cider vinegar and add ¼ cup of the vegetable stock to start. Sprinkle with salt, sage, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and nutmeg. Toss everything well to coat.
  • Spread the vegetables in an even layer on the prepared sheet pan. Make sure they’re not too crowded; use a second pan if needed to allow for proper roasting.
  • Roast for 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through. If the mixture seems dry, add up to ¼ cup more stock, 1 tablespoon at a time; just enough to lightly moisten the vegetables without pooling liquid.
  • Scatter the pecans over the vegetables and return the pan to the oven. Roast for an additional 5 – 8 minutes, until the vegetables are fork-tender and caramelized around the edges, and the pecans are toasted.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. You can present the whole sheet pan (carefully!) at the table for a no-fuss finish or toss it all together and transfer it to a serving bowl.

Notes

Serving suggestion: This would make an excellent side dish to any meal, or you could make it a complete entrée by adding in cooked chickpeas, lentils, or baked tofu about 10 minutes before it’s done cooking, just to make sure it’s all warmed through.
It’s a classic breakfast side, ideal for pairing with a tofu scramble, toast, and/or sliced avocado for a hearty morning meal.
Notes: Kabocha are a type of Japanese pumpkin with thin, green skin that’s fully edible; no peeling necessary! If you can’t find it in stores, feel free to substitute an equal amount of peeled and diced butternut squash or acorn squash instead.
Likewise, mix and match the starchy vegetables however your heart desires. Instead of beets and parsnips, consider gold potatoes or sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, rutabaga, or kohlrabi.
