INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS FOR EASY BREAKFAST BOWLS

Here are the key ingredients needed to make these meal prep breakfast bowls along with some substitutions. Everything can be picked up at your local grocery store. 

• Sweet potatoes – these potatoes are sweet, earthy and slightly nutty. They make the perfect base for these healthy breakfast bowls. Alternatively you can swap these for sweet potato tater tots, hash browns or baby red potatoes. 
• Green peppers – brings a mild sweetness and are typically less pronounced than most of the other peppers
• Red pepper – adds some fruitiness to the dish
• Jalapeno – I always love adding a bit of heat and these jalapenos are perfect for a bit of kick. If you want to reduce the heat level, de-seed the jalapeno before using as most of the heat lives in the seeds. 
• Red onion – I prefer red onions in this dish due to them being milder when cooked however you can also use yellow or white onions as well.
• Eggs – the eggs are cooked to a perfect soft scramble for this dish. However you can cook your eggs to your liking making them sunny side up, hard-boiled eggs or whichever method you prefer.
• Breakfast sausage – breakfast turkey sausage brings a nice meaty flavor to these breakfast bowls however you can use your favorite breakfast sausage or you can replace the meat with some sauteed mushrooms or tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Cheese – shredded cheddar cheese adds a nice creamy texture to the eggs. Other cheese options to consider are mozzarella, feta or pepperjack 
• Avocado – provides healthy fat and cools down the entire dish

HOW TO MAKE MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST BOWLS

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

On a large cutting board, dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes and put in a medium bowl. Next dice the peppers, onions and jalapeno’s and put in the bowl with the sweet potaotes. Next season the potatoes with your seasonings and toss with 1 tbsp of oil. Place the potato mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes or until the potatoes have browned and are crispy. Once done, remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and allow to cool. 

While the potatoes are baking, heat a large skillet to medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Add the turkey breakfast sausage and cook until it is no longer pink.

Drain the excess fat with a colander and pour the ground turkey mixture on a paper towel lined plate to remove the remaining liquid. 

In a small bowl, crack the whole eggs and add the egg whites and whisk together. Next add the cheddar cheese to the eggs and gently fold in.

Heat a skillet to medium heat and pour the whisked eggs in. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
