What to serve with this healthy sweet potato and apple hash:
When you've got a star dish as the main event like this one, you only need a couple low-key sides to support it.
- Try an easy green salad like this Simple Romaine Salad with Radish and Parmesan
- or this Easy Butter Lettuce and Pomegranate Salad
- If you're vegetarian (not vegan) whip up some scrambled eggs or dollop a couple spoonfuls of Greek yogurt in some bowls with frozen then thawed mango chunks and top with some pepitas (pumpkin seeds).
Is sweet potato good for breakfast?
Sweet potato is absolutely great for breakfast! This gluten-free vegetable is a perfect way to kick-start your day. You can steam them in the Instant Pot the night before (check out this recipe) and then just re-heat the sweet potato in the morning and top with some Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of any chopped nuts for a crunch and a drizzle of honey. Or try leftover roasted sweet potato in a gluten-free wrap with some sliced peppers, a handful of spinach, scrambled eggs and a shot of hot sauce or sriracha.
Are sweet potatoes healthy?
Yes, sweet potatoes are healthy. Sweet potatoes are a source of healthy carbs, vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, filling fibre and they're naturally gluten-free.
Any food can be taken down a notch or 2 on the healthy scale, depending on what it's paired with, so if you're looking to keep it on the healthy side, roast, bake or pan fry chunks of sweet potato in a little olive oil to bring out their natural sweetness.

📖 Recipe
Sweet Potato and Apple Hash with Superfood Brekkie Links
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Shallot, diced
- 3 stalks Celery, diced
- 3 cups Sweet potatoes, diced about 2 large
- 4 Superfood Brekkie Links
- 4 Apples (like Gala), sliced
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- ¼ Apple juice
- ¼ cup Walnuts
- Salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick fry pan. Once heated, place diced shallot and celery in oil. Stir for a couple minutes until the celery becomes translucent and the shallot softens.
- Toast the walnuts in a small non-stick pan until browned and they start to give off a smell.
- Add the 3 cups of diced sweet potatoes to the pan and cook, stirring every few minutes for about 10-13 minutes or until the sweet potatoes start to soften.
- Then add the sliced brekkie links and cook for another five minutes to heat the links through. Add the mixture to a large baking dish.
- While sweet potatoes cook, in a separate non-stick fry pan over low-medium heat, cook the sliced apples for a couple minutes and then sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Turn over in the pan to coat. Add ¼ cup of apple juice and cook about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt and remove from heat.
- Top the sweet potatoes with the cooked apple slices, sprinkle with the walnuts and drizzle the 1.5 tablespoon of maple syrup over top.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Serve.
