Eat like a farmer {or a dietitian} with this veggie-filled one-skillet Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash!
A breakfast option that won’t leave you hungry two hours later.
Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash has everything you need to start your morning off on a healthy note. It’s a hearty dish with quality protein, a good source of fiber and a serving of veggies too. Bring on the veggies!
There are a number of breakfast options like cereals, breakfast bars, sweet yogurts, and fruity-muffins tend to be high in carbs and processed sugars and low in protein. In fact, recently I was at the grocery store scanning the overwhelming wall of yogurt in search of one of my go-to yogurts. I picked up one that I thought could be healthy and low and behold, it contained 32 grams of sugars! WOW – that’s equivalent to 8 teaspoons of sugar! No thanks.
While these sugary, carby breakfast options may taste good, they’ll most likely leave you with a growling stomach and mad craving for more sugar just a few hours later. These types of foods do not do justice for blood sugar management which results in a sluggish metabolism and a craving for more. A healthy breakfast is one that contains a quality source or protein, a good source of fiber and is low in sugar. Like our Whole30-friendly Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash!
A key ingredient in this hash is our favorite sausage made by Pederson’s Natural Farms.
It’s hard to put into words how tasty Pederson’s Natural Farms sausage is. When I made this sausage for the very first time for my husband and I, his exact words were, “I haven’t tasted pork sausage like this in a long time, if ever!” It’s made with the perfect blend of spices, isn’t overly salty and you just can’t beat the quality of their entire line of products.
Pederson’s Natural Farms mantra is:
“Real people making real food using natural meats raised with humane and environmentally safe practices.”
Pederson’s Natural Farms pork is raised without the use of antibiotics or growth stimulants and fed no animal by-products. In addition it’s:
- Minimally processed
- No artificial ingredients
- No preservatives
- No added nitrates or nitrites
- No gluten
- No lactose
- No MSG
- No sugar added products available (including 8 Whole30-friendly products)
‘Hashing’ it up for breakfast is an easy way to sneak in veggies first thing in the morning.
This Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash recipe combines ingredients that makes for quite an epic breakfast dish and one that’s full of flavor…..and full of veggies too. I recommend veggies with every meal…yup, even breakfast! You now have no excuses for fitting in veggies with breakfast because this hash is your answer.
Looking for an egg-free breakfast option?
If you have an egg-allergy (like Jessica) or are highly sensitive to eggs, this recipe is for you too! Serving an egg with this hash is totally optional.
You can find all of our egg-free breakfast recipes here.
Cook once, eat twice.
This is one of those recipes that you can make ahead and reheat during the days following. I’m a big fan of the cooking once, eating twice (or three or four times). I almost always make a double batch of this recipe (or our Sweet Potato Hash with Bacon OR Butternut Squash and Apple Hash with Sausage) on the weekend so that I have plenty of leftovers to enjoy during the week. To reheat, I simply throw the hash in a skillet over medium heat with just a little water and cook until heated through. It makes for an easy and hearty breakfast that’s tasty too! So.much.better than that sugary bowl of cereal or sweet muffin. Better for your blood sugars and better for your waistline.
And ps: Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash makes for one hell of a dinner too!
This recipe is well-balanced and most definitely hearty enough to serve as a dinner (or supper). Breakfast for dinner…yes please!
Get ready to hash it up with this full of flavor, satisfying breakfast!

Working so hard to please a family of such different likes/ dislikes and this hit the mark. So delicious. Added an egg for those who eat them and that was a enough enticement to get my vegetable avoider to dig in. Raves all around.
Anytime you can get a veggie-avoider to dig in is a big win in our books! So glad you enjoyed this recipe.
Not really enough vegis for six servings. add one more sweet potato and one lb Brussel sprouts
Is this Freezable? Would I cook first or just prep the ingredients and freeze to cook later?
We wouldn’t recommend freezing the raw ingredients to cook later. You could cook, cool and freeze it but the Brussels sprouts will have a fairly soft, even soggy, texture so it would be best to thaw it, drain if if needed and reheat in a hot skillet.
One of those recipes where I ask myself… “What took me so long to make this??” Beautiful color with the orange, green and I used red bell peppers! Protein, and carbs to start my morning!
Perfect Deron! Thanks for the feedback and 5-star review!
I’m really eager to try this recipe, as I just really don’t like eggs but want to eat a healthy breakfast. But my grocery store does not have a natural whole 30 compliant sausage like Pedersons farm. I was wondering how much the macros would be changed if I subbed it for ground turkey or ground beef and put some seasonings on myself. Thanks for your help.
Hi Lucy, making that change will not change the protein or carbohydrate amount, but using lean ground beef or lean ground turkey will reduce the total fat by 4 grams.
