Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 ¾ pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 medium or 2 large), scrubbed clean and sliced into ¾″ pieces
1 red bell pepper, sliced into ¾” squares
1 small yellow onion, sliced into wedges
2 tablespoons extra‑virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
½ teaspoon fine salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the garlic powder, chili powder (if using), salt, and plenty of black pepper.
Toss everything together so the vegetables are evenly coated. Spread them in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet (if the pan is too crowded, use a second pan).
Roast in the oven until the veggies are tender and golden on the edges, about 55–65 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even browning.
Remove any overly dark pieces of onion and serve the hash hot with eggs or as a side to your favorite dishes.
