Sweet Potato Hash

I love a good sheet pan meal—especially when I can be doing other things while it roasts away in the oven. This hash is perfect for weeknight meals and can be customized for your family. You can keep it simple, serve it topped with fried or hard cooked eggs, mix it up or deconstruct it. Not one of my kids likes every single element of this meal, but when I serve it with a range of toppings (like anything you’d put onto a taco), everyone can find plenty of foods that they like. Hooray for happy meals that I want to eat too! TIP: This is an easy vegetarian dinner, but you could of course add more protein to it if you prefer. (You may also like Chicken Nuggets with Sweet Potato, Sweet Potato Tacos, or Sweet Potato Hummus.)
