Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
Protein and Dairy
- 1 12-ounce package uncooked breakfast sausage links
- 8 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sweet potatoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for eggs)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings (Optional)
- Cheese
- Hot sauce
- Avocado chunks
- Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F to prepare for roasting and baking.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and onion powder. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on one end of a large sheet pan.
- Prepare sausage: Cut the breakfast sausage links into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces. Arrange these on the opposite end of the same sheet pan away from the sweet potatoes.
- Mix eggs: In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced red bell pepper, milk, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Set up egg bake dish: Place a small greased baking dish (such as a 6-cup rectangular dish or loaf pan) in the center of the sheet pan. Pour the egg mixture into this dish.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan with sweet potatoes, sausage, and the egg dish in the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the eggs after the first 15 minutes and continuing to stir every 5 to 10 minutes until the eggs and sausage are fully cooked and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Assemble breakfast bowls: In individual bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked sausage pieces, and baked eggs.
- Add toppings: Finish by adding your favorite toppings such as cheese, plain Greek yogurt, avocado chunks, and hot sauce to taste.
Notes
- Using a baking dish for the eggs helps keep them contained and evenly cooked while baking alongside the other ingredients.
- Stirring the eggs intermittently ensures even cooking and prevents them from becoming rubbery.
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage alternative for variation.
- Feel free to customize toppings to suit your taste or dietary preferences, such as adding salsa, green onions, or fresh herbs.
- Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into uniform pieces for even roasting and cooking.
