This sweet potato breakfast bowl is the perfect start to anyone's day! This dish is great year round but I personally think it's the perfect fall dish. It's hearty and cozy which makes it perfect for these short, chilly days. When the cold weather hits and the days get shorter, I usually decrease my veggie intake by quite a bit and start eating hearty and not so healthy foods. After I do this for a while, I start craving vegetables and this dish seems to always hit the spot. It still has those cold weather, cozy feels but with a little bit more vegetables than the standard cold weather meal.
One of the keys to making this sweet potato breakfast bowl taste so good is cooking all of the vegetables in the bacon grease! I know, I just made it sound like this was a healthy dish by talking about all of the vegetables in it! It's full of vegetables but we gotta make sure it tastes good and sticks some meat on your bones for the colder months.
Tools to make this recipe:
Oven Safe Skillet. I chose to make this sweet potato breakfast bowl in a cast iron skillet but any oven-safe skillet would work fine. If you don't want to make the dish in a cast iron but need a recommendation for a great oven safe skillet, I recommend this one. I got this Calphalon skillet for my birthday a while back and I have been obsessed with it ever since!
