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 in vegetables this time of year. Between Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all of the holiday parties, veggies can be hard to come by. The holidays are incredibly sugar forward, and we all get thrown out of our normal routine a bit. However, some of the most delicious vegetables are in season this time of year, and there are plenty of delicious ways to still get them in! This Harvest Vegetable Hash is a great way to get in a wide variety of vegetables!
For some families, it can be a hard sell to reserve a spot for a vegetable dish on your Thanksgiving table, but this simple side is perfect to just slide in there. It’s made with root vegetables, just a bit of green from the brussels sprouts, seasonal herbs, and of course… bacon. Because, why not? So even if you’re not used to getting vegetable sides on your Thanksgiving table, this is a great place to start!
The Ingredients You’ll Need For This Paleo Harvest Thanksgiving Vegetable Hash
Sweet potato
You can use any variety of sweet potato that you’d like for this.
Carrots
Regular orange carrots are what I used for this recipe, but rainbow carrots would work as well.
Rutabaga
This is the one vegetable that may throw your dinner guests as they won’t necessarily recognize it. However, it tastes great in a hash like this and it mixes it up with some new nutrients.
Brussel Sprouts
Gotta get the greens, right?
Yellow onion
Yellow onion is a bit sweeter than white and less spicy than red. It adds more flavor depth to the hash.
Bacon
This makes the dish just a bit more appealing to those family members that 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!

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!
