Description

A wholesome and satisfying breakfast skillet featuring roasted sweet potatoes, turkey bacon, and eggs, all cooked together in one pan. This Whole 30, Paleo, and Gluten-Free dish is a deliciously healthy way to start your day.


Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, cubed (peel if preferred)

2 tbsp olive oil (plus 1 tbsp for cooking)

3 large eggs

3 pieces turkey bacon (uncured)

1/4 cup white onion, diced

2 tbsp green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well coated.
  2. Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 20–30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can cook them in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crisp, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet with the cooked onions. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to bring the flavors together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Create three wells in the sweet potato mixture and crack one egg into each well. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under a broiler for 2–3 minutes for quicker cooking.
  7. Top the skillet with the crumbled turkey bacon and chopped green onions. Add more salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot for a hearty breakfast.

Notes

Sweet potatoes can be peeled or left unpeeled based on your preference.

An air fryer can be a quicker alternative to roasting sweet potatoes.

Ensure the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness before serving.
