# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 lbs sweet potatoes (peeled, 1/2-inch diced) and 2 large bell peppers (diced) with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a large baking sheet.
02 -
Roast the sweet potatoes and bell peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This forms the hearty and vibrant base for your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love. Set aside once cooked.
03 -
While the vegetables roast, cook 12 oz crumbled chicken or turkey breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up the sausage as it cooks until it's browned and thoroughly cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked sausage aside.
04 -
In the same skillet (or a clean one), whisk 12 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble over medium heat until the eggs are just set but still moist. Avoid overcooking for the best texture in your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love.
05 -
Add the roasted sweet potatoes and bell peppers, cooked chicken or turkey breakfast sausage, and 5 oz fresh spinach to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir gently to combine all ingredients until the spinach wilts, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
06 -
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it's melted and well incorporated. Taste the mixture and adjust salt and pepper as needed. This completes the savory filling for your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love.
07 -
Divide the breakfast bowl mixture evenly among 6 individual freezer-safe containers. Allow the bowls to cool completely to room temperature before sealing them with lids and transferring them to the freezer. This ensures optimal freshness for your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love.
# Notes:
01 -
Store cooled bowls in airtight freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway, until heated through.
02 -
Feel free to swap chicken/turkey sausage for ground beef, pork sausage, or even black beans for a vegetarian option. Any firm vegetable like broccoli or zucchini can replace bell peppers.
03 -
Serve these bowls as is, or top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
04 -
To save time on busy mornings, roast the sweet potatoes and bell peppers the day before. You can also pre-cook and crumble the sausage ahead of time.
