Lazy Sunday Sheet-Pan Sweet Potato & Asparagus Hash

Lazy Sunday Sheet-Pan Sweet Potato & Asparagus Hash

Sunday mornings are for coffee, not for doing dishes. This sheet-pan hash is my ultimate weekend cheat code. Dicing the sweet potatoes small means they roast in a flash, getting perfectly caramelized edges while the spring asparagus stays bright and the eggs bake to jammy perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes(peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1 medium red onion(chopped)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil(divided)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt(divided)
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch asparagus(woody ends snapped, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese(crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro(chopped)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil(remaining)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt(remaining)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F.

    1 min

    Tip: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before putting the pan in, otherwise the potatoes will steam instead of roast.

  2. 2

    Peel and dice 2 medium sweet potatoes into tiny 1/2-inch cubes. Chop 1 medium red onion.

    8 min

    Tip: The 1/2-inch dice is non-negotiable! If you cut them larger, they won't cook fast enough and your eggs will overcook while waiting for them.

  3. 3

    Transfer the 2 medium sweet potatoes and 1 medium red onion to a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss well to coat and spread into an even layer.

    2 min

    Tip: Toss them right on the sheet pan. We are not dirtying a mixing bowl for this.

  4. 4

    Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 15 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and get crispy edges.

    15 min

  5. 5

    While the hash roasts, snap the woody ends off 1 bunch asparagus and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Crumble 1/3 cup feta cheese and chop 2 tbsp fresh cilantro.

    5 min

    Tip: You can naturally find the breaking point of asparagus by bending the bottom of the spear until it snaps.

  6. 6

    Remove the pan from the oven. Scatter the chopped 1 bunch asparagus over the hash, drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and toss. Use the back of a spoon to make 6 small wells in the mixture.

    2 min

    Tip: Make the wells wide enough so the egg whites have room to spread a little without running all over the pan.

  7. 7

    Crack 6 large eggs directly into the wells. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1/4 tsp kosher salt.

    2 min

    Tip: If you're nervous about shell pieces, crack each egg into a small ramekin first, then pour it into the well.

  8. 8

    Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the egg whites are cooked through but the yolks are still jammy.

    10 min

    Tip: Keep a close eye on them at the 8-minute mark. Sheet pan eggs go from perfect to rubbery fast.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and immediately scatter the 1/3 cup feta cheese and 2 tbsp fresh cilantro over the top. Serve hot right off the pan.

    1 min

    Tip: Serve this with your favorite hot sauce and some thick-cut toast for dipping into those yolks.

Chef's Notes

Yes, you can absolutely skip the cilantro if it tastes like soap to you—flat-leaf parsley works beautifully here. I rely heavily on smoked paprika for this recipe because it gives that deeply savory, almost meaty flavor without needing to add sausage or bacon. I always bring the entire sheet pan directly to the table; it looks incredibly rustic and impressive, and more importantly, it saves me from washing a serving platter.
