Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Sausage
- 1 12-ounce package uncooked breakfast sausage links
Egg Mixture
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings (optional)
- Cheese
- Hot sauce
- Avocado chunks
- Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare for roasting the ingredients.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and onion powder until evenly coated. Spread them onto one end of a sheet pan.
- Prepare Sausage: Cut the breakfast sausage links into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces and spread them on the opposite end of the sheet pan from the sweet potatoes.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced red bell pepper, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a small baking dish (approximately 6-cup rectangular or a loaf pan) and place it in the center of the sheet pan. Pour the egg mixture into this dish.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan with sweet potatoes, sausage, and egg dish into the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes total. Stir the eggs after the first 15 minutes, then every 5-10 minutes thereafter until the eggs and sausage are fully cooked and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer roasted sweet potatoes, sausage pieces, and baked eggs.
- Add Toppings: Top with optional ingredients such as cheese, plain Greek yogurt, avocado chunks, and hot sauce to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use a baking dish size approximately 6 cups or a loaf pan to fit comfortably on the sheet pan.
- Stir the eggs regularly during baking to promote even cooking and avoid overcooked edges.
- Substitute breakfast sausage with vegetarian sausage for a vegetarian version.
- Sweet potatoes can be swapped for regular potatoes but may require longer roasting time.
- Toppings like avocado and plain Greek yogurt add creaminess and balance richness.
