This Paleo Harvest Hash is the easiest side dish + is perfect for Fall or anytime of the year! It’s chock full of vegetables + warming spices. It’s Paleo, Whole30 + completely gluten and dairy free too.
Sometimes the simplest food is best + this Paleo Harvest Hash is the perfect example.
Thrown together with all sorts of seasonally abundant produce, paired with some pantry basics, this simple autumn flavoured hash is actually magical.
You really won’t believe that it can be this easy + taste this good.
Ingredients in the Paleo Harvest Hash
This hash is really such a simple dish + the simplicity starts with the ingredients. This dish calls for simple autumnal vegetables + fruit, marinated in a super simple spice mixture to really bring out the seasonal quality of it all.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- sweet potatoes
- brussel sprouts
- apple
- onion
- maple syrup: honey works here too or leave it out for a Whole30 compliant dish.
- oil: coconut, avocado or olive oil all work here!
- spices: cinnamon + nutmeg are what the recipe calls for, but feel free to add-lib a bit if you want to!
- nuts: topping this hash with chopped toasted nuts is a game changer! I’ve tried pecans, hazelnuts + walnuts – all divine.
- salt + pepper
Prepping the Paleo Harvest Hash
In all honesty, the hardest part about putting this Paleo Harvest Hash together is the chopping of the vegetables. Personally, I love veggie prep. It de-stresses me. I pour myself a kombucha (but you could choose a glass of wine?), throw on some Dean Martin, and chop my little heart out. It feels cathartic in the best way.
However, I’m not naive to the fact that external factors like little babies and long working hours can take the shine off of kitchen prep. For all of you hard-working kitchen warriors, feel free to take a shortcut! Buy some pre-chopped sweet potato + pre-cut brussel sprouts. They sell them all in the regular grocery story + it’ll cut the prep time down to like 2 minutes. There is no shame in that game.
The good news is, once you figure out the chopping, there really isn’t any work of any kind to do, just a little bit of pouring and a little bit of mixing. You can throw everything into one bowl, stir + bake. That’s really it!
- Prep the veggies.
- Toss with oil, spices, salt and pepper.
- Bake.
- Top with nuts + enjoy!
That’s it!
To Make it a Meal
Once this recipe comes out of the oven on it’s baking sheet, the options are endless. You could serve it for breakfast with a fried egg or two or alongside some Paleo Sausage. For lunch, toss it on top of a salad. For meal-prep or dinner time, this Paleo Harvest Hash would be INCREDIBLE as the side dish for some Paleo Apricot Glazed Chicken. Or, for an easy, peasy meal-time option, simply toss some chicken sausages in with the hash before baking. That’s meal time DONE!
This hash reheats beautifully for leftovers too. I love to make it for dinner and then have the extras the next day at breakfast with some avocado on top.
Because this dish is so allergen friendly, you can also feel safe serving it to any guests! It’s a crowd pleaser that would even be great on any Thanksgiving table.
