How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Scrambled Egg Breakfast Bowl:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Add the sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, and sliced sausage to a large sheet pan. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss until everything is evenly coated. Transfer half the mixture to a second sheet pan.
- Roast both pans for 20 minutes, flip the contents, and then roast for another 10-20 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Don’t forget to rotate the pans after flipping!
- Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a large bowl, add a splash of milk or water, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter. Once heated, pour the eggs into the skillet. Use a rubber spatula to make small circles in the egg mixture until small curds start to form.
- Once thickened, switch to long sweeping motions, pushing the egg mixture back and forth across the pan until larger creamy curds form. Remove from heat and let the eggs sit for about a minute to finish cooking in the hot pan.
- Divide the roasted potatoes, sausage, and scrambled eggs evenly between the containers. Allow them to cool, then sprinkle with cheese and green onions. Cover and refrigerate. Any portions not consumed within three days can be frozen for later!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your breakfast bowls turn out perfectly:
- Feel free to swap out the turkey sausage for chicken or even a plant-based option if you prefer.
- Customize your veggies! Add spinach, zucchini, or any other favorites you have on hand.
- For a little extra flavor, try adding some hot sauce or your favorite seasoning blend.
