Sweet Potato Home Fries with Zucchini

Jun 19, 2023

The comforting bliss of home fries is a welcome addition to any weekend breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, for that matter. What are home fries? Home fries are a traditional, classic potato scramble which pan-fried in the skillet with onions, maybe bell pepper, and some seasonings and spices to create a savory side-dish at the breakfast table. In this healthy recipe for homemade home fries, I swap out white potatoes for sweet potatoes and add earthy zucchini and yellow squash for a nutrient-rich, flavorful combo. This gluten-free, vegan recipe for Sweet Potato Home Fries with Zucchini is also baked in the oven for a healthier, easier preparation style. You could also make these sweet potato home fries in the air fryer using the same recipe.

Try a variety of sweet potatoes in this recipe to add new colors and textures to your cooking, including Japanese sweet potatoes or even purple sweet potatoes. You can also mix up your zucchini and yellow squash to try a variety of squashes available in farmers markets and home gardens. It’s a great way to use up that zucchini growing in your garden in the summertime, too!
