Sweet Potato and Apple Hash

Isn’t it amazing how some of the simplest of side dishes can wow the family and take an ordinary meal to the next level? I love it when that happens! 

This Sweet Potato and Apple Hash has done that lately around our table. I grew up digging sweet potatoes in my parent’s garden and eating them several times a month.

They have always been one of my favorite veggies and my little guy feels the same. H not only eats the potato but he even eats the skin, and that makes this mom happy.  

Anytime I can introduce him to new flavor combos and more veggie dishes, I go for it. This one was a big time hit with my Nate, and I hope you guys enjoy it too.

This roasted vegetable hash works well for vegans and vegetarians or people simply looking for a great low-fat alternative. It also fits into the Trim Healthy Mama diet as an energizing “E Meal”.  

We love pairing this side with a lean roasted pork loin or turkey breast. The seasonings in the hash pair well with these lean proteins.

There is just something about the sweet hearty flavor of the sweet potatoes mixed with the tartness of the green apples that sets this apart from the ordinary old standby of roasted veggies.

I wish these pictures had a scratch and sniff options. It smells amazing in the kitchen when I make this dish. I can hardly wait to cook it again.

When this deliciousness roasts the apples cook quicker than the potatoes, making them become a little mushy but don’t worry because that is part of the magic here.

As they begin to mush the natural sugars of the apples are caramelizing and clinging to the onions and potatoes melding them all together in a big flavor hug.

Trust me when I say this is one veggie side dish that you don’t want to miss out on.  Try it soon! If you are looking for another great side dish check out my Mushroom Brown Rice.

• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Chop the sweet potatoes and apples into cubes, trying to get them close to the same size pieces.
2. Next chop the onion into medium size pieces and break apart the onion so they are not so thick.
3. Add all your cubed ingredients into a large bowl and add in your spices and the oil.
4. Toss the mixture together until all the pieces have some spices on them.
5. Place the seasoned hash on a large baking sheet in one even layer and place in a preheated 350-degree oven.
6. Bake the hash for 50 to 60 minutes.
7. Remove the pan from the oven half way through the cooking process and flip the pieces over so they get some color on both sides.
