Here we are again, sharing another lightened up winter dish! I know that I need a break from all of the heavy and savory foods of the holidays. There’s nothing like a big serving of fruit or veggies to even you out! Last week, I shared a recipe for winter fruit salad with apples, pears and a lemon poppy seed vinaigrette. This week I wanted to share a recipe for an easy skillet hash that contains many different winter vegetables!

  • Yukon Gold Potatoes: Possibly my favorite type of potato. They’re so creamy and smooth, and always cook up tender and flavorful. They tend to hold their shape well when cooked and have a wonderful buttery flavor. 
  • Carrots: A “classic” winter vegetable that adds sweetness to this dish. 
  • Parsnips: This was actually my first time cooking with parsnips. They’re a root vegetable closely related to the carrot and parsley plant. I think parsnips taste very similar to carrot, but with a slightly more peppery taste. 
  • Delicata Squash: Shocker again — this was my first time cooking with delicata squash! I was pleasantly surprised by it’s “delicate” flavor and texture. It was sweet and tasted like a cross between acorn and butternut. It cooked very quickly as well. And, you can eat the skin! 
  • Mushrooms: Another classic winter staple. Mushrooms add a hearty and savory flavor. 
  • Shallot: I really love the flavor of shallots. They’re like onions but less pungent and sweeter. 
  • Kale: I am not a big kale person, but I do love it when it’s sauteed into dishes. Kale has to be broken down really well for it to taste good, which means sauteing it for a while or massaging it with oil.

All of these wonderful veggies are sauteed together in plenty of olive oil and butter until they’re soft, seasoned with salt and pepper, and garnished with fresh thyme. It makes for a gorgeous display that will appeal to anyone!
