Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 3 cups sweet potatoes cubed
  • 6 slices sugar-free bacon chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 4 cups kale chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon paleo powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Heat a large cast-iron pan until hot, and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.  Add in 3 cups of cubed sweet potatoes and reduce heat to medium-low heat.  Cook stirring frequently for 5 minutes. 
  • Place chopped bacon in the pan and cook for 2 minutes.  
  • Add in sliced onions and bell peppers.  Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.
  • Place chopped kale in the pan and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.  Season with 1 teaspoon of paleo powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • With a spoon create 4 small wells.  Crack the eggs into the 4 wells.  Season eggs with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to low.  Cook for 5 minutes.  Enjoy!

Notes

    • Cover the skillet with a lid to cook the eggs. Other recipes call for you to pop your pan into an oven to cook the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid or wrap with aluminum foil and cook on low for 5 minutes. The eggs turn out just like the pic below!
    • Make it Keto: Swap out the sweet potato for low-carb veggies like more bell peppers and greens.
    • Add Toppings! Try adding avocado, jalapenos, pumpkin seed crema, or hot sauce to spice things up!
    • Cook sweet potatoes on a low flame. One of the mistakes I made, in the beginning, is burning my cubed sweet potatoes. Slowly cook them on low heat.
    • This recipe is awesome for meal prep!  Double or triple this recipe and have sweet potato has all week long. Reheat in the microwave and top with an over-easy or sunny-side-up egg.
