Harvest Thanksgiving Vegetable Hash (Paleo, Whole30, AIP)
This harvest vegetable hash is an amazing fall side dish for weeknight dinners or even Thanksgiving! It’s paleo, whole30, and AIP.
Let’s be honest… It’s hard to get vegetables at this time of year! Veggies can be hard to come by between Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all of the holiday parties. The holidays are incredibly sugar-forward, and we all get thrown out of our regular routine. However, some of the most delicious vegetables are in season this time of year, and there are plenty of tasty ways to get them still in! This Harvest Vegetable Hash is a great way to get in a variety of vegetables!
Why you’ll love this recipe
- It’s easy! This is a one-pan recipe that is roasted in the oven for a low-effort side dish for the holidays.
- It’s veggie-packed. We could all use more veggies this time of year, and this recipe is a great way to get in extra fiber and nutrients.
The Ingredients You’ll Need For This Harvest Thanksgiving Vegetable Hash
- Sweet potato. You can use any variety of sweet potato that you’d like for this.
- Carrots. I used regular orange carrots for this recipe, but rainbow carrots would also work.
- Parsnip. You can also sub extra carrots and sweet potato.
- Brussels sprouts and red onion.
- Bacon. This makes the dish just a bit more appealing to family members who may be a bit wary of such a vegetable-forward dish at Thanksgiving. However, you can always leave it out and just add a different cooking fat.
- Rosemary, sage and thyme. These poultry seasonings go great with fall flavors!
How to make this Harvest Thanksgiving Vegetable Hash
- Cook the bacon and reserve the fat. Using a large baking sheet, line with parchment paper and add the bacon. Transfer to the cold oven and preheat the oven to 400 F. Allow the oven to heat, cooking the bacon until lightly crisp. Remove the bacon from the baking sheet and set aside, reserving about 2 tbsp of fat in the pan. Discard the rest of the fat, or save for later cooking. Chop the bacon into large pieces and set aside.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Add the vegetables to the baking sheet with the herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Carefully turn the vegetables, coating them evenly in the baking fat. Evenly spread the vegetables to ensure that they don’t overlap.
- Bake the veggies & add the bacon back to the pan.
Tips & Tricks
- Mix up the veggies. The veggies are fairly flexible in this recipe as long as you’re using hearty root vegetables rather than leafy, smaller vegetables. Rutabaga and even white potato would be a great addition or swap to this recipe!
- Add a sauce if desired. I love this recipe by itself, but if you’re having it on thanksgiving, add some gravy or mushroom gravy!
Storage and reheating instructions
This recipe is definetly best fresh, but if you choose to make it ahead of time and reheat it the day of, store it in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer until warm.

What can I use instead of bacon grease?
You can use any cooking fat on your choice 🙂
Are those measurements for fresh herbs? Can ground sage & thyme be substituted? And will this still work if I don’t have a rutabaga? It looks delicious & I want to try it without having to make another trip to the store!
I used fresh, but you can use ground! It will work just fine without rutabaga… you can just sub another vegetable to even out the amount.

Thank you, Heidi!!!
This was so yummy! I loved the flavors together. I did make this without the bacon (due to health issues), so I just tossed all the veggies with olive oil. My kids even tried it and some were surprised that they liked it so much!
