How to Make Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Bowls

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 potatoes (diced)
  • 1 bell pepper (any color, diced)
  • 1 small red or yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 12 maple breakfast sausages (I used turkey)
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 6 eggs
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Put the diced potatoes, bell pepper, and onions on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together, then roast for 30 minutes.
  3. While the veggies are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray it with cooking spray and add the sausages. Cook them for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. In a big bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once the butter melts, pour in the eggs and scramble until just set. Remove from heat.
  5. Divide the scrambled eggs among 4 bowls. Add the sliced sausages and roasted potatoes to each bowl. Garnish with cilantro or parsley if you like. Serve and enjoy!
