Ingredients You’ll Need for Sheet Pan Harvest Hash

Sweet potato: my favorite root veg adds natural sweetness Brussels sprouts: they get crispy and delicious when roasted at a high heat Bell peppers and red onion: they get really sweet when roasted and add gorgeous color Garlic salt: easy way to add tons of flavor Italian seasoning: infuses the dish with aromatic herbs. Italian sausage: I love that it’s preseasoned so half the work is done for you

Simple hacks and shortcuts

Pre-cut Vegetables: When I’m really in a time crunch, I’ll grab pre-cut veggies at the grocery to save some prep time. Choose colorful veggies like bell peppers, sweet potatoes, onions, and zucchini to add variety and visual appeal to your sheet pan hash. Then all that’s left to do is literally throw them on a sheet pan and let the oven do its job. Use Parchment Paper: Line your sheet pan with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze. It also prevents sticking and promotes even cooking.

Ingredient swaps to customize your sheet pan harvest hash:

Switch up the sausage: Switch up the Italian sausage with chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even plant-based sausage for a different flavor profile. Omit the goat cheese based on your diet: If you’re dairy-free or following a strict paleo diet, substitute goat cheese crumbles with avocado slices or a dollop of compliant paleo mayonnaise.
