This Sweet Potato Kale Hash recipe is an easy way to add veggies to your breakfast. With sauteed kale and sweet potato and veggies, this gluten free and vegan breakfast hash will be a morning favorite!
Do you ever find yourself looking for sweet potato breakfast recipes, or is that just me?
I know I have several readers who want gluten free sweet potato recipes, so this sweet potato breakfast skillet meets those needs!
When I’m wanting some sort of sweet potato hash recipe, we usually turn to this sweet potato beet quinoa breakfast scramble, which is pretty much a veggie hash.
And now, we can also turn to this sweet potato and kale hash. Since it doesn’t use eggs, it’s a great option for a vegan sweet potato hash, but adding eggs would be just as delicious and sometimes recommended.
If you’re looking for a vegan sweet potato breakfast option, this is for you. Plus, it’s made in a skillet and there is little that can compare to the flavor of a sweet potato skillet hash.
So, if you’re ever searching for gluten free sweet potato recipes or a sweet potato kale hash vegan style, save this.
What You Need for Vegan Sweet Potato Kale Hash
I’m not often turning to kale for breakfast, but this healthy kale breakfast recipe will change your mind about greens in the morning.
You’ll need:
- sweet potato
- onion
- red bell pepper
- zucchini
- grape tomatoes
- kale
- black beans
- olive oil
- garlic
- paprika
- garlic powder
This sweet potato hash with kale is very forgiving though. It’ll work well with whatever veggies you have on hand or whatever you choose to use!
Don’t have fresh tomatoes? Use canned!
Swap the black beans for eggs, or add the eggs in for extra protein.
How to Make Sweet Potato Hash Vegan
This vegan sweet potato hash recipe is ready in 20 minutes, so when the kids are starving or you can’t think about anything until you’ve eaten, it’s ready quickly.
And it makes for great leftovers! This is one of my favorite vegan meals for runners, and you can truly enjoy it for any meal.
I like to cut all of my vegetables before doing anything else. I prefer to cut everything in a small dice shape (especially the sweet potatoes), so all of the veggies get an equal amount of flavor and cook evenly.
Plus, it’s easy to fit a bunch on a forkful.
Pro tip: Cut veggies the night before to save time in the morning! I thrive on cutting corners and making things ahead (since why these 7 make ahead breakfast recipes are hits in the kitchen, too!)
- Start by sauteing your olive oil in a large skillet. Next, you’ll add the garlic, diced sweet potato and onion.
2. Once those start warming up, add the other vegetables (pepper, tomatoes, zucchini), salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
Stir them all and cook for about 15 minutes. The sweet potatoes will now start to become soft and tender.
3. Add in the black beans and kale, stirring until the kale becomes soft and starts to wilt.
4. Season with more salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, if desired.
How To Store Vegan Sweet Potato Hash
This sweet potato hash will last up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
And if you have leftovers, consider saving any kale or veggies for a soup or broth.
Other Notes About This Easy Veggie Hash:
- Adding the kale in last prevents it from wilting too much throughout the cooking process. However, if you prefer more wilting, add it in earlier or cook longer.
- When adding the kale in, you will have to layer it and mix with the other ingredients to ensure it cooks and mixes evenly.
- I suggest washing your black beans before adding them in (you save ~25% of the sodium this way).
- If you’re not looking for a vegan veggie hash, you can add butter, cheese, eggs, and/or other breakfast meats!
- Add more spices if you like extra flavor and spice. Topping with chopped basil, parsley or sage adds more flavor.
I’ll also note that I love to add these sweet potato breakfast potatoes and veggies to a piece of sturdy toast or breakfast sandwich.
This sweet potato kale hash is one of our favorite healthy breakfast recipes with sweet potatoes and I hope you enjoy it.
We love it for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
