Ingredients

For the root vegetable hash:

  • 1 sweet potato, cubed
  • 3-4 red skinned or russet potato, cubed (about 2-3 cups)
  • 1 medium parsnip, peeled and cubed (about 1-1 ½ cups)
  • 2-3 small turnip, cubed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small rutabaga, peeled and cubed (about 1- 1 ½ cups)
  • 3-4 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1 hungarian wax pepper, seeds removed and cut into strips
  • ½ small yellow onion (about 1 cup)
  • handful of fresh spinach or kale (or any of green you enjoy)
  • 1 full recipe of homemade pork breakfast sausage

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Chop and cut all of the root vegetables making sure they are uniform in size. Cutting vegetables so they are the same size ensures even cooking
  • Once all of the vegetables are cut, toss in the avocado or olive oil. Sesaon with salt and pepper and spread out into an even layer on a baking tray. Place in the oven and roast for about 20-30minutes. I recommend tossing the vegetables once or twice throughout the cooking process to ensure even browning
  • While the vegetables are cooking, make the pork breakfast sausage on the stove top. Once finished, leave in the pan to keep warm while finishing the vegetables
  • In a large sauté pan, add 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil and sauté the Hungarian wax pepper along with the chopped onion. Continue to sauté until soft
  • Once the root vegetables are brown and cooked through, place in the large skillet along with the wax pepper and onion. Add in a couple handfuls of spinach or chopped kale and toss. The greens will start to wilt and cook from the heat of the vegetables. There's no need to heat them
  • Scoop some of the root vegetable hash onto a plate along with one or two sausage patties. Enjoy!
