Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small zucchini chopped
  • 2 cups bite-sized broccoli florets
  • 1 cup button mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic finely minced
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup reduced-fat feta cheese crumbled (or dairy-free cheese for a vegan option)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop them up and set them aside. Thaw your hash browns, and make sure they are as dry as possible to get that perfect crunch.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  • In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Wait for it to shimmer just a bit—that’s a sign it’s hot enough.

Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics

  • Add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the hot oil. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions turn translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Keep stirring to prevent the garlic from burning.

Step 4: Add the Vegetables

  • Next, toss in the diced bell pepper, chopped zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. You’re looking for those veggies to soften but still keep some texture.

Step 5: Add Hash Browns

  • Time to introduce your thawed hash browns. Spread them evenly across the skillet and allow them to cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes. This helps form that crispy layer we all crave.

Step 6: Mix in Broccoli and Season

  • Add the bite-sized broccoli florets. Stir everything together. At this point, sprinkle in your nutritional yeast, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes if you're using them. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7: Cook to Crispy Perfection

  • Let it cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy. Make sure that every veggie is integrated well.

Step 8: Serve and Top

  • Once golden, remove from heat. Give it a taste; adjust your seasonings if necessary. Serve hot, topping it with crumbled feta cheese or your cheese of choice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Frozen Hash Browns: If you forgot to thaw them, don't worry! Just add a few minutes to the cooking time.
  • Sheet Pan Option: Want an even easier cleanup? Toss everything on a sheet pan and roast in a hot oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Freezing: If you make too much, you can freeze the leftovers. Just store them in an airtight container.
  • Fresh Herbs: Add a handful of fresh herbs like parsley or basil right before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Leftover Stars: This dish shines with leftovers. Add cooked chicken or sausage if desired for a heartier meal.
