Description

This Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet is a delicious and hearty morning meal featuring roasted sweet potatoes, crispy turkey bacon, sautéed onions, and perfectly broiled eggs. It combines savory flavors with the natural sweetness of the potatoes, making for a comforting and nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes, cubed, peeled if preferred
  • 1/4 Cup White Onion, diced
  • 2 Tbsp Green Onion, chopped

Protein

  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 3 Pieces Turkey Bacon

Others

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until they are evenly coated.
  2. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Alternatively, you can air fry them at 400°F for 10 minutes for a quicker option.
  3. Cook Bacon and Onions: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon and diced white onion, cooking until the bacon is crisp and onions are tender.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are done, add them to the skillet with the bacon and onions. Stir to combine and cook together for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Broil the Eggs: Adjust your oven to the broil setting on high. Make three wells in the sweet potato mixture and crack an egg into each well. Place the skillet under the broiler and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until eggs are set to your liking.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top, add any extra seasoning if desired, and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional depending on your texture preference.
  • If you prefer your eggs more cooked, broil for an additional minute.
  • Turkey bacon keeps this dish lower in fat compared to traditional pork bacon.
  • You can substitute regular bacon if preferred, but cooking time might vary.
  • For added flavor, consider sprinkling some smoked paprika or chili flakes when seasoning.
