Breakfast? Dinner side? Does it matter?! This easy vegetarian sweet potato hash has become one of my favorite one-pan meals because it needs only 5 ingredients, and everyone loves it. Letting the sweet potatoes cook undisturbed for a few minutes helps create those crispy golden edges, while the peppers and onions soften just enough to add extra flavor and texture. We usually pair it with recipes like fried eggs in the air fryer for an easy breakfast that doesn’t require much cleanup.
This savory sweet potato skillet recipe works just as well for brunch or meal prep lunches as it does for breakfast-for-dinner nights when nobody wants anything complicated. For bigger weekend breakfasts, I love serving it alongside recipes like this cinnamon Brioche French toast to balance the savory flavors with something a little sweet.

Items and Substitutions
- Sweet Potatoes: These make the dish naturally sweet, but obviously, other potatoes can work.
- Coconut Oil: Like avocado oil, coconut oil has a high-heat point, so it’s great for higher temperatures. Some coconut oils will have a subtle taste, so choose one that suits your preference.
- Cayenne Pepper: I typically omit this when I make it for the kids and just sprinkle it on my husband’s and my portions.

Before starting the recipe, you’ll want to have all your kitchen essentials ready. I recommend having the following items:
How To Make Vegetarian Sweet Potato Hash
Step 1: Add the diced sweet potatoes to a cast-iron skillet preheated with coconut oil and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes until they begin to get soft.
Step 2: Add in the red onion and diced bell peppers then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Step 3: Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the peppers and onions begin to soften.
Step 4: If you want a little heat, add in a dash or two of cayenne pepper right before serving.
Note
Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate and get perfectly tender without burning.
Helpful Hints
Pro tip: Sweet Potato First!
Start cooking the sweet potatoes first and give them enough time to soften and brown before adding the other veggies, this helps them develop the best texture and flavor.
- Dice all ingredients into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the veggies will steam instead of crisping.
- Add a lid while cooking if your sweet potatoes are taking longer to soften.
- Taste and adjust seasoning at the end, especially if adding extras like sausage or cheese.
- To store sweet potato hash, let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, you can reheat it in a skillet over medium heat with a small splash of oil to help crisp it back up.
