A simple, quick sheet pan meal made with Brussels sprouts, sweet potato and flavorful tempeh. Perfect for breakfast, brunch or dinner.
Some days I just want a healthy and satisfying meal without all the fuss of dirty pots and pans to clean up afterward. That's where sheet pan meals come in. Just one pan(or two if you have a big family) and you end up with a great meal and not a lot of clean up! This Brussels Sprout Tempeh Sheet Pan Hash is a current favorite around our house. It's super simple to make, completely satisfying and made on one large pan for near effortless clean up.
ingredients
Hash is typically made with potatoes, various vegetables and some kind of protein. So for this hash I choose sweet potatoes.
We LOVE Brussels sprouts around here so we enjoy them quite often in a variety of ways like roasted in the oven or this salad or this gratin. They're just so delicious so when I started thinking about making a hash I knew I wanted to use them. And they work beautifully, paired with sweet potato. It's the perfect combination of flavors and texture.
The other component of this hash is the tempeh, which by itself doesn't have a ton of flavor. But, that's ok because my recipe for tempeh bacon works extremely well for adding a ton of flavor. The tempeh hits all the notes-a little smoky, a little sweet, salty and overall addictive. The smoky, saltiness of the tempeh is the perfect compliment to the caramelized nuttiness of the Brussels and earthy sweetness of the potatoes.
instructions
To make this hash there is a little bit of planning needed. Marinating the tempeh is a crucial step to develop loads of flavor. The marinade is made with soy sauce or tamari, spices, apple cider vinegar, a little maple syrup and liquid smoke.
Slice the tempeh thin and place in a single layer in a shallow dish and pour the marinade all over ensuring all pieces are coated. Let the tempeh marinade for at least an hour up to overnight. The longer it marinades the more flavorful the tempeh will be.
Once the tempeh has marinated slice up the veggies, drizzle them with a little oil and add salt, pepper and garlic. Then everything goes onto a large sheet pan to bake. If your sheet pans aren't large enough, use a second pan to prevent overcrowding which while slow down cooking and prevent browning. Bake for about 30 minutes flipping halfway. Brush a bit more of the leftover marinade on the tempeh at the halfway point.
