Sweet Potato Breakfast 3 Ways

small-medium sweet potatoes ((about 7 ounces raw each))

bacon

avocado ((60 grams))

salt and pepper,

toppings - fresh herbs, salsa, hot sauce...

sausage ((I used chicken sausage))

red bell pepper ((220 grams/about 1 large pepper))

Bake sweet potatoes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash sweet potatoes and poke holes in them with a knife. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 45-55 minutes until soft and tender and can be easily pierced with a knife.

Make the bacon. When the sweet potatoes have about 15 minutes left, make your bacon. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and let it get hot. Add bacon and sprinkle with pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through until crispy. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.

Whisk eggs in a medium bowl with a little salt and pepper.

Scramble eggs. Remove most of the bacon grease (leaving just a little behind). Turn down the heat to medium-low and let the pan cool down some. Add whisked eggs and continuously stir eggs with a spatula until cooked to your preference.

Assemble. Cut a slit lengthwise through the middle of the sweet potato. Gently press in on both ends to allow room for filling. Divide scrambled eggs, bacon, and avocado among two potatoes, splitting evenly.

Make the sausage and veggies. When the sweet potatoes have 10 minutes left, make your sausage. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and let it get hot.

Last, add kale and some salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.

Yum yum yum! I love everything sweet potato. It’s my favorite food. I’ve been eating the berry recipe at least once a week for the last 6 weeks. Haha!

This is a great recipe for weekly meal prep! Very delicious AND filling. I topped mine with egg, avocado, bacon, and hot sauce! YUM!

Love the chorizo sweet potatoes! Just the right blend of sweet and spice!!! The berry, nut butter, potato is excellent, too.
