# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its a clever way to use up leftover black-eyed peas that feels intentional rather than afterthought
  • The roasted vegetables develop a depth of flavor that makes even weekday mornings feel like a weekend treat
  • Everything cooks on one sheet pan, leaving you with minimal cleanup and maximum satisfaction
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet or the vegetables will steam instead of roast. If in doubt, use two pans.
  • The hash needs that final high heat blast to develop proper color and texture. Don't be tempted to lower the temperature.
03 -
  • Pat your vegetables dry with paper towels before roasting for extra crispy results
  • Let the hash rest for 5 minutes after coming out of the oven. The flavors meld together beautifully.
