Ingredients

1 medium/large sweet potato
1-2 teaspoon olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
4 oz breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
¼ yellow onion chopped
½ red bell pepper chopped
2-3 handfuls of spinach
2-4 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Peel the skin off the sweet potato and dice into 1-inch cubes. spread out on a tin foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until fork-tender.
While sweet potatoes are baking, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, until browned (about 10 minutes). Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, cook the chopped onions and bell peppers until tender and onions are starting to brown (about 8-10 minutes). Put the spinach in at the last minute and cook until wilted. Remove from the heat.
The last step is to cook your eggs, which you can make any way you want. I liked this bowl with both fried and scrambled eggs.
For scrambled eggs, whisk your eggs in a separate bowl until yolks and whites are well combined. Heat a non-stick skillet with a little oil or butter over medium-low heat. Add in the eggs and allow to heat up, then use a rubber spatula to pull the eggs from the outside of the pan to the inside. Continue to do this until the eggs are just set. Add cheese if wanted.
For fried eggs, heat the skillet over medium heat and add in butter or oil. Once the pan is hot, gently crack the egg into the skillet and allow to cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on how runny you want the yolk. 2 minutes will give you a runny yolk, 4 minutes will give you a hard yolk.
To assemble your bowl, add sweet potatoes, vegetables, sausage, and then the eggs. Top with your favorite hot sauce or ketchup (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

Get ingredients ready before-hand. To make sure you are eating a warm bowl for breakfast, you want to time this recipe right. So to start, I would make sure to have all my vegetables cut and ready to go before I started. You want to be able to put the sweet potatoes in the oven and move right on to the sausage, then the onions/peppers.

Make sure the sweet potatoes are cut to the same size. This ensures that they will roast evenly. If you have some pieces that are bigger than others, those will take longer to get tender.
Swap/add ingredients. Don't eat meat? leave out the sausage. Not keen on onions? don't need them! the beauty of this breakfast bowl is you can really customize it.
