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
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!
