SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI HASH



Sweet Potato Zucchini Hash image

A simple and sweet treat that packs a lot of flavor. It makes a great alternate breakfast side in place of the standard hash browned potatoes. Try it as a breakfast side with scrambled eggs! Sweet potatoes let off a lot of water as they cook, so it may be necessary to drain the hash before serving.

Tips for Baking Zucchini Sweet Potato Bread:

  • For moist and tender bread, use a combination of grated zucchini and sweet potato.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini and sweet potato before adding them to the batter.
  • Use a food processor or grater to shred the zucchini and sweet potato for even distribution.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense loaf.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
