Ingredients
- 3 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes (the secret to amazing Veggie Sheet Pan Hash is using Yukon Gold instead of russet potatoes for a creamier texture)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (you’ll want a quality extra virgin for the best flavor here)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (adds a gentle smoky touch that makes this roasted vegetable hash unforgettable)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
For those wondering where to find the freshest produce for this Veggie Sheet Pan Hash, farmers’ markets or your local grocery store’s organic section are excellent places. If you want to splurge on one ingredient for this recipe, make it the smoked paprika. It quietly brings everything together beautifully.
Customization is simple here. You can swap zucchini for eggplant or add mushrooms if you like. Cauliflower or broccoli florets work perfectly too. If you prefer a plant-based protein boost, adding some diced tofu or tempeh before roasting creates a satisfying twist.
If you want to prep ahead, chop all your vegetables the night before and store them in airtight containers in the fridge. This makes assembly the next morning a breeze, turning this healthy sheet pan meal into a fast weekday option.
Let’s Make This!
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. This temperature is key for getting that perfect crispy edge on your Veggie Sheet Pan Hash.
- On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the diced Yukon Gold potatoes in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with half the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly. This step ensures your potatoes start cooking properly before the other veggies join in.
- Roast potatoes for about 15 minutes. While they’re roasting, prepare the rest of your veggies. I’ve found that starting the potatoes early is a helpful technique for Veggie Sheet Pan Hash success because potatoes take longer to soften.
- After the first 15 minutes, add your diced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle the rest of your smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give everything a gentle toss.
- Roast for another 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Your Veggie Sheet Pan Hash should look golden, and the potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Optional: If you want a bit of fresh brightness, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top right before serving.
A helpful success tip for your Veggie Sheet Pan Hash is to monitor your veggies closely after adding them to avoid overcooking the cherry tomatoes—they should soften but not turn into mush. If your oven runs hot, check on the hash a bit earlier to keep everything perfectly roasted.
While your Veggie Sheet Pan Hash is cooking, take a moment to enjoy that amazing aroma filling your kitchen. This is where your simple ingredients transform into something truly special.
Serving & Presentation
Serving this Veggie Sheet Pan Hash in a lively, colorful pile on your favorite plate brightens any breakfast table. I love pairing it with a side of creamy avocado slices or a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt for extra richness.
This dish shines at casual family brunches or quick weeknight dinners that need a healthy sheet pan meal without any fuss. It’s also perfect for feeding hungry guests—people always smile when I serve this Veggie Sheet Pan Hash at gatherings because it feels nourishing and satisfying.
For an elegant yet simple plating trick, sprinkle fresh herbs over the hash and add a wedge of lemon or lime on the side to squeeze over for a fresh twist. This contrast of roasted and fresh flavors is lovely.
Leftovers? No problem. This Veggie Sheet Pan Hash reheats beautifully in a skillet or microwave. I sometimes add a fried egg on top the next day for a quick and hearty meal.
Seasonal variations keep this roasted vegetable hash interesting. In cooler months, I swap zucchini for roasted Brussels sprouts or butternut squash. In spring, asparagus or peas bring a pop of freshness.
I’m always reminded that this dish creates some of the sweetest moments at our family dinners—comfort on a plate that invites smiles and seconds.
FAQs
Q: Can I make this Veggie Sheet Pan Hash ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Chop your vegetables ahead and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can also roast everything, cool it, and reheat in a skillet. This makes it a flexible, easy sheet pan recipe for busy mornings.
Q: What if I don’t have smoked paprika?
A: No worries—regular paprika or a small pinch of chili powder works fine, though the flavor will be different. This is one of those little ingredients that can quietly change the character of your Veggie Sheet Pan Hash but it still tastes great without it!
Q: How do I know when my Veggie Sheet Pan Hash is perfectly done?
A: You want your potatoes to be tender when poked with a fork and your veggies slightly caramelized and soft. The hash should look golden and smell fragrant with a hint of smokiness.
Q: Can I add protein?
A: Yes! Adding diced tofu or tempeh before roasting adds a protein boost. For a non-vegan twist, cooked sausage or bacon works well here too. This makes the Veggie Sheet Pan Hash even more filling.

A: The recipe already leans naturally gluten-free since it’s just veggies and spices. Just double-check your smoked paprika or any seasoning blends for hidden gluten.
