This Sweet Potato Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sheet Pan is an easy and delicious one-pan breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes,, washed, chopped into ½-1 inch cubes (1 extra-large sweet potato or two medium sized sweet potato)
- 1 pound yellow potatoes, washed, chopped into ½-1 inch cubes (2 medium potatoes)
- 1 whole yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 pre-cooked sausage links, (if frozen defrost them by placing them in fridge the night before, or else defrost in the microwave).
- 6 large eggs
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
Directions
- Place oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 450F.
- Toss sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, onion, salt and pepper in olive oil and roast for 15 minutes on a sheet pan. Leaving the pan in the oven on the middle rack, switch to the high-broil setting and broil for 3-5 minutes. (The potatoes should be fully cooked with a little bit of browning.)
- Remove the pan from the oven and switch the oven back to 450 degrees. Using the thin front edge of a spatula, carefully release any potatoes that are stuck to the pan and then toss them (a metal spatula is best, but use caution as it could scratch your non-stick pan).
- Make 6 five-inch square-shaped wells for the eggs and sausage. Place two sausage links on the top and bottom sides of the wells.
- Sprinkle the potatoes and sausage with the cheese and chopped parsley.
- Spray each well with cooking spray be make sure the egg doesn't stick. Gently crack the eggs into the wells and bake for 3-4 more minutes for over medium eggs. Be sure to keep your eye on them closely during this step of the process
- Allow the breakfast bake to cool for a few minutes, cut the breakfast bake into 6 portions, then carefully with a large spatula remove the egg, sausage and potato squares individually from the pan. (I use a metal one because it is thinner and sharper and gets under the eggs better without breaking them. Be aware it could scratch your non-stick pan.)
- Serve immediately, or enjoy for breakfast all week!
- To store stack them individually separated with parchment paper in a large sealed container. When ready to eat, just lift them out with the parchment paper and place them on a plate to reheat or eat cold.
