Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
- Tip: For an extra crispy finish, broil for the last 2 minutes while keeping an eye on them.
Step 2: Cook the Turkey Bacon & Sauté the Spinach
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the turkey bacon for 3–4 minutes per side, until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In the same pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and toss in the spinach. Sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just wilted.
- Tip: A squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes adds a fresh kick to sautéed spinach.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- Heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with olive oil or butter.
- For scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, then pour into the pan, stirring gently until soft and fluffy.
- For fried eggs, crack them directly into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the whites set while keeping the yolk slightly runny.
- Variation: Love poached eggs? Simmer water with a splash of vinegar and gently drop in the eggs for 3–4 minutes for a velvety texture.
Step 4: Assemble Your Breakfast-for-Dinner Plate
- Toast the whole wheat bread until golden brown.
- Layer on the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed spinach, and crispy turkey bacon.
- Gently place the eggs on top and add sliced avocado and cherry tomatoes for a fresh, colorful touch.
- If using, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese for a tangy finish.
- Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and enjoy!
