Microwaves might be convenient, but oven-baked sweet potatoes get a mouthwatering caramelized sweetness that the microwave just can’t seem to replicate – it’s good enough to be worth the extra time, especially if you’re making a recipe like this that will give you several days’ worth of breakfasts in one.
Here, you first bake the sweet potatoes in the oven to get that savory-sweet flavor, and then use them as a base layer for a big pan of baked eggs and vegetables.
It’s like a frittata in rectangular form, perfect for baking double or triple and storing in the fridge for quick meals on the run.
Thanks to the sweet potatoes, it would be especially good as a portable breakfast for getting some healthy carbs into you after a workout.
Even if you don’t have anywhere to be in a hurry, though, this is still a convenient way to whip up a Paleo-friendly breakfast (or lunch or dinner!).
And if you’re not eating on your way from the gym to the office, you can even fry up a batch of cauliflower hash to go with it!
