Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
Meat
- 1 12-ounce package uncooked breakfast sausage links
Egg Mixture
- 8 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Seasonings & Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Toppings (optional)
- Cheese
- Hot sauce
- Avocado chunks
- Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F to prepare for roasting the ingredients evenly on the sheet pan.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and onion powder. Spread them on one end of the sheet pan.
- Prepare Sausage: Cut the breakfast sausage links into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces and place them on the opposite end of the sheet pan from the sweet potatoes.
- Make Egg Mixture: In the same mixing bowl used for the sweet potatoes, whisk together eggs, diced red bell pepper, milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Place a small greased baking dish (approximately 6-cup rectangular or loaf pan) in the center of the sheet pan and pour in the egg mixture.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Stir the eggs after the first 15 minutes, then continue stirring every 5 to 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. The eggs and sausage should be fully cooked, and the sweet potatoes should be tender.
- Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked sausage pieces, and baked eggs.
- Add Toppings: Finish by adding your choice of toppings such as cheese, plain Greek yogurt, avocado chunks, and hot sauce for extra flavor.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and skip cheese toppings.
- Use a non-stick spray or brush the baking dish with olive oil to prevent eggs from sticking.
- Feel free to customize the toppings according to your taste preference, such as adding salsa or fresh herbs.
- The sausage can be substituted with plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
- Cook time may vary slightly depending on oven and thickness of sausage pieces; ensure eggs are fully set before serving.
