# Sheet Pan Breakfast Hash with Sweet Potatoes, Chorizo, and Eggs > A hands-off, family-friendly sheet pan breakfast that roasts sweet potatoes, peppers, onion, and spicy chorizo until caramelized, then bakes eggs on top for an all-in-one morning meal. Great for meal-prep or feeding a crowd with minimal fuss and easy cleanup.

Sweet potatoes roast up sweet and tender with crisped edges that stand up to the bold, smoky bite of Spanish chorizo; when you crack eggs into little wells the whites set around glossy yolks that soak up those meaty juices. The high oven temperature and the choice to par-roast the veg before adding the chorizo are small but deliberate moves that keep everything caramelized rather than steamed, which is what gives this hash personality. Flavor-wise it’s a reliable contrast—sweet starch, salty pork, smoky paprika, bright parsley—so each forkful feels balanced even without extra garnishes. It’s an ideal weekend brunch for families or a practical meal-prep option: roast the base ahead and finish with eggs the morning you plan to eat. Because the technique is forgiving, you can push textures one direction or another (faster roast for browner edges, longer bake for firmer yolks) and still come away with a deeply satisfying, low-fuss breakfast. ## Recipe Information - Prep Time: 15 minutes - Cook Time: 30 minutes - Total Time: 45 minutes - Servings: 10 - Difficulty: Easy - Category: Baking ## Ingredients ### Preheat and prep vegetables - 2 lb Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes - 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil - 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced - 1 medium Red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces - 1 tsp Smoked paprika - 1 tsp Kosher salt - 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper ### Roast vegetables and add chorizo - 8 oz Spanish chorizo, casing removed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces ### Create wells and bake eggs - 6 count Large eggs ### Garnish and serve - 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) ## Instructions ### 1. Preheat and prep vegetables Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes, sliced onion, and bell pepper in a large bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the vegetables in an even layer on a large rimmed sheet pan to ensure they roast instead of steam. ### 2. Roast vegetables and add chorizo Roast the vegetables for 15–18 minutes, then remove the pan and stir. Scatter the chorizo pieces over the partly roasted vegetables and return the sheet pan to the oven for another 8–10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chorizo is browned and crisp at the edges. ### 3. Create wells and bake eggs Using the back of a spoon, make six small wells among the potato-chorizo mixture. Crack one egg into each well and return the pan to the oven. Bake 8–10 minutes for set whites and slightly runny yolks, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks; alternatively, broil 1–2 minutes at the end to set the tops. ### 4. Finish and season Remove the sheet pan from the oven and taste for seasoning, adding a pinch more salt and pepper if needed. Let the pan rest 1–2 minutes so the eggs settle and the flavors meld. ### 5. Garnish and serve Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the hash for brightness and serve straight from the sheet pan or portion onto plates. This keeps well refrigerated for meal prep—reheat portions in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through. ## Nutrition Estimated nutrition per serving (1 serving): - Calories: 259 kcal - Protein: 11 g - Carbohydrates: 21.3 g - Fat: 14.4 g - Saturated Fat: 4.5 g - Fiber: 3.4 g - Sugar: 5.5 g - Cholesterol: 131.2 mg - Sodium: 604.4 mg - Potassium: 496 mg - Calcium: 52.8 mg - Iron: 1.7 mg ## Tips ### Cut Even Sweet Cubes Keeping the potatoes to roughly 1/2-inch ensures uniform roasting so some pieces don't burn while others remain hard. ### Don’t Overcrowd Pan Spread the veg in a single layer on a rimmed sheet to encourage caramelization—crowding produces steam and softens texture. ### Par‑roast Vegetables First Roasting the potatoes and peppers for 15–18 minutes before adding chorizo gives the veg a head start and prevents the sausage from steaming the pan. ### Create Deep Egg Wells Make nicely scooped wells with the back of a spoon so the eggs sit protected and the whites don’t run into every crevice of the pan. ### Watch Egg Timing Bake 8–10 minutes for set whites and jammy yolks; if you like firmer yolks, add a minute or two or finish briefly under the broiler. ## Variations and Substitutions ### Make It Vegetarian Swap chorizo for smoked tempeh cubes or roasted chickpeas tossed with smoked paprika and a splash of olive oil for a similar savory bite. ### Use Yukon Gold Potatoes Replace sweet potatoes with 2 lb Yukon Golds cut the same size and roast a few minutes longer until tender and golden. ### Green Chile & Cheese After adding the chorizo, scatter chopped roasted hatch chiles and a handful of shredded pepper jack or Oaxaca cheese before cracking the eggs for a melty, piquant finish. ### Mexican‑Style Swap If using raw Mexican chorizo, brown it in a skillet first to render fat and then add it to the sheet pan to avoid greasy clumps and ensure even cooking. ## Notes ### Storage and Make-Ahead Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best texture, reheat in a 350°F oven on a baking sheet until warmed through—this keeps the potatoes from getting rubbery; microwaving is fine for single servings but may further firm the yolks. To make ahead, roast the veg and chorizo, refrigerate, and bake the eggs into portions just before serving. ### Serving Suggestions Serve straight from the pan with warm corn or flour tortillas, sliced avocado, and quick-pickled red onions to cut the richness. For drinks, bright coffee or a classic Bloody Mary complements the smoky, savory flavors, while a light lager works well for a casual brunch. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I use a different type of chorizo? Yes—Spanish cured chorizo crisps nicely on the pan and releases flavorful oil, while raw Mexican chorizo should be browned in a skillet first to render fat and ensure it cooks through before combining with the potatoes. ### How do I know when the sweet potatoes are done? Pierce the largest cubes with a small knife; they should slide off the blade easily and have a tender interior with golden, caramelized edges. ### My eggs spread out—how can I keep them contained? Make deeper, well‑defined depressions in the mixture to cradle each egg, and avoid over-stirring the potatoes right before cracking the eggs so the wells hold their shape. ### Can I add cheese to this dish? Yes—stirring in grated cheese before cracking the eggs creates a creamier bed, or sprinkle cheese over the eggs in the last 2 minutes of baking so it melts without losing its texture. ### What size sheet pan should I use? A full rimmed half-sheet pan (about 18x13 inches) is ideal for an even layer; if you only have a smaller pan, roast in batches to avoid crowding and steaming the vegetables. ## Related Recipes and Guides - [Cloud Bread Sandwiches](https://www.topshelf.recipes/recipes/cloud-bread-sandwiches) - [Honey Mustard Chicken Nuggets](https://www.topshelf.recipes/recipes/honey-mustard-chicken-nuggets-baked) - [Cheddar Jalapeño Corn Muffins](https://www.topshelf.recipes/recipes/cheddar-jalapeno-corn-muffins) - [Basque Burnt Cheesecake](https://www.topshelf.recipes/recipes/basque-burnt-cheesecake-salted-caramel) - [30-Minute Sticky Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs with Crisp Edges](https://www.topshelf.recipes/recipes/30-minute-sticky-baked-honey-garlic-chicken-thighs-crisp-edges) - [Lemon Butter Salmon](https://www.topshelf.recipes/recipes/lemon-butter-salmon) - [Trending Hybrid Grilling Methods for 2026: 8 Heat‑Play Techniques Home Cooks Use to Boost Flavor & Speed](https://www.topshelf.recipes/articles/trending-hybrid-grilling-methods-2026-8-heat-play-techniques) - [Baking Soda and Tenderized Beef](https://www.topshelf.recipes/articles/baking-soda-and-meat) - [Gluten-Free Weeknight Grilling Plan](https://www.topshelf.recipes/articles/gluten-free-weeknight-grilling-plan)
