Ingredients
-
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 small red onion, diced
-
1 red bell pepper, chopped
-
1 green bell pepper, chopped
-
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
-
8 large eggs
-
¼ cup milk (or any dairy-free alternative)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella for a milder flavor)
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon onion powder
-
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, fresh parsley, or avocado slices
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
-
Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and bell peppers for 5–6 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Spread the roasted sweet potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Add the sautéed vegetables on top.
-
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and potatoes, gently stirring to distribute evenly.
-
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
-
Let the bake cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions, parsley, or avocado slices.
Notes
-
Roasting the sweet potatoes first enhances flavor and prevents a mushy texture.
-
For added protein, mix in cooked chicken breast, turkey sausage, or black beans.
-
You can use dairy-free cheese or milk alternatives if preferred.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
-
Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
-
For meal prep, divide into individual containers for quick weekday breakfasts.
