Middlesbrough overcame a spirited display from non-league Hastings to book a spot in the FA Cup fourth round.
Hastings keeper Liam O'Brien saved a penalty from Ishmael Miller but could do nothing to keep out Merouane Zemmama's opener from 25 yards.
Andy Halliday prodded home before Zemmama made it 3-0 to the Championship side with a deflected shot.
Bradley Goldberg gave Hastings a moment to savour with a long-ranger but Miller pounced late as Boro eased through.
