Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sweet potatoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 12-ounce package uncooked breakfast sausage links
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for eggs)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings
- Cheese (such as shredded cheddar or your favorite type)
- Hot sauce
- Avocado chunks
- Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the ingredients.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and onion powder until evenly coated, then spread them onto one end of a sheet pan.
- Prepare Sausage: Cut the breakfast sausage links into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces and arrange them on the opposite end of the same sheet pan from the sweet potatoes.
- Mix Eggs: In the same mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, diced red bell pepper, milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Place a small greased baking dish (approximately 6-cup rectangular or a loaf pan) in the center of the sheet pan and pour the egg mixture into the dish.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Stir the eggs after the first 15 minutes and continue to stir every 5 to 10 minutes until the eggs and sausage are fully cooked and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Assemble Bowls: Once baked, create your breakfast bowls by layering sweet potatoes, sausage pieces, and the baked eggs in serving bowls.
- Add Toppings: Top each bowl with your choice of cheese, plain Greek yogurt, avocado pieces, hot sauce, or any other desired toppings for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use a well-greased baking dish to prevent the eggs from sticking during baking.
- Stirring the eggs periodically ensures even cooking and prevents them from overcooking at the edges.
- Feel free to customize toppings like cheese type or add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Sweet potatoes can be prepped ahead of time to save on morning prep.
- To make this recipe gluten free, ensure the sausage links contain no gluten additives.
