Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (1/2 inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
Protein
- 1 12-ounce package uncooked breakfast sausage links
- 8 eggs
Dairy
- 1/3 cup milk
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sweet potatoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for egg mixture)
- 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.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and onion powder until evenly coated. Spread them onto one end of a large sheet pan.
- Prepare sausage: Slice the uncooked breakfast sausage links into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces. Arrange the sausage pieces on the opposite end of the sheet pan from the sweet potatoes.
- Mix eggs: Using the same mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced red bell pepper, milk, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a small baking dish (about 6-cup capacity, rectangular or similar loaf pan works) and place it in the center of the sheet pan between the sweet potatoes and sausage.
- Pour egg mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking dish resting on the sheet pan.
- Bake: Place the entire sheet pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Stir the eggs after the first 15 minutes and then every 5-10 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked, the sausage is cooked through, and sweet potatoes are tender.
- Assemble bowls: In individual serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked sausage pieces, and baked eggs.
- Add toppings: Optionally, garnish with cheese, plain Greek yogurt, avocado chunks, hot sauce, or your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
- Using a sheet pan keeps all components cooking together, saving time and cleanup.
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a plant-based alternative for a leaner or vegetarian option.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on your sausage choice.
- To make it dairy-free, replace milk with a plant-based milk and skip cheese toppings.
- For easier cleanup, line the sheet pan with parchment paper or foil before cooking.
