Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Chop bacon into bits as noted above and place them in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Fry the bacon until it is slightly crispy- about 10 minutes. There is no need to super-cripify or burn the bacon. It will cook further in the oven with the rest of the hash.

Step 2
While bacon is frying, prepare all vegetables as noted above and place them in a large bowl (except the salad greens – leave them to the side for now). Heat oven to 375° and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
Step 3
When the bacon is done add the bacon, including the rendered *fat, to the bowl with the vegetables. Add salt, pepper, and garlic granules and mix well until all ingredients are well coated.
*If you feel uncomfortable adding the bacon fat to the hash – try to move out of your comfort zone a little. The bacon fat adds wonderful flavor to the hash and it’s a healthy animal fat that your body needs. If the bacon fat is too much of a stretch for you, strain the bacon from the fat, add the bacon into the bowl with the vegetables and seasoning and add a generous drizzle of olive oil and mix it well to combine.
Step 4
Pour the contents of the bowl onto the lined sheet pan and use a spatula to distribute everything evenly over the entire pan in a single layer. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 40 – 45 minutes, until carrots and yams are tender.
When the pan is done in the oven share the fresh greens over four shallow bowls and add a generous serving of Bacon & Yam Hash over the greens. Serve and enjoy this delightful two-pan-wonder!
