Roasted veggie hash

Hash is the perfect way to incorporate more eggs (a Top 10 Foods for Runners pick) into your diet. It’s also a great way to get your daily dose of veggies and protein. Gone are the days of hash only being for breakfast people. It can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. I am not a breakfast person, but I certainly don’t feel like I’m missing out one bit when I eat absurd amounts of crispy potatoes, veggies, and eggs for dinner.

This particular hash is super easy. Everything (besides the eggs) is cooked on one baking sheet (if you have a big enough sheet. No shame in using two pans if you don’t). Thanks to the magic of the oven, you put in some raw food and what comes out is a delicious crispy mess of all the best foods. Thanks, oven. Add an egg or two cooked any style on top to round up on protein. The chicken sausage is totally omittable but does help on the protein count.

Make as much roasted veggie hash as your oven can handle and enjoy it all throughout the week, with eggs of course. If you want to read more about the magic of eggs, check out my Top 10 Foods for Runners: Week 2
