This vibrant root vegetable hash is a colourful and nourishing way to celebrate seasonal produce. By slowly sautéing a mixture of earthy beetroot, sweet carrots and nutty parsnips, you create a dish that is deeply savoury with just a hint of natural sweetness. The addition of fresh rosemary adds a fragrant, woody aroma that cuts through the richness of the coconut oil, making it a delicious plant-based option for any time of day.
As a versatile vegan dish, this hash works beautifully as a hearty breakfast topped with avocado, or as a rustic side for a Sunday roast. Using a variety of different root vegetables like swede or turnips ensures a wonderful contrast in textures. This simple, one-pan meal is not only packed with fibre and essential nutrients but is also naturally gluten-free, providing a wholesome and comforting plate of food.

How to make Root Vegetable Hash
Back to contentsHeat the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the root vegetables.

Sprinkle in the rosemary and salt to taste. Serve warm.
