What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • One batch of this Whole30 recipe yields six days’ worth of breakfasts, making it the ultimate breakfast meal prep! I love to mix this up on Sundays so I don’t have to think about breakfast for the rest of the week.
  • It’s loaded with nutritious, filling ingredients that will power your mornings and keep you satisfied until lunch.
  • If you’re not into meal prepping, that’s okay! This is still a great recipe for large family breakfasts since it intentionally makes so many servings. No doubling-up needed!
  • Soft scrambled eggs, crisp-but-tender sweet potatoes, and juicy breakfast sausage come together in a convenient grab-and-go paleo breakfast bowl that can be reheated in the microwave for busy mornings!

Key Ingredients

Breakfast Sausage – Make sure to use Whole30 compliant breakfast sausage for this recipe! My favorite is Applegate Farms No Sugar Pork Breakfast Sausage. You can also make your own (see the recipe notes below!) or use Whole30 compliant bacon!

Sweet Potatoes – The star of any sweet potato hash! Sweet potatoes are a fantastic source of complex carbohydrates, and they’re naturally gluten- and grain-free. The skin of the sweet potato is rich in fiber and antioxidants, but this recipe uses peeled potatoes for a nicer texture.

How to Make It

The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!

Start by cooking your sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into small pieces using a spatula, then add the veggies and cook covered until they’re soft. Uncover the skillet and cook until the sweet potatoes are lightly browned, then add the remaining ingredients for the hash.

While that’s cooking, crack a dozen cold eggs into a deep saucepan with ghee. Cook the eggs over high heat, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula. After 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat for 10 seconds, then replace it. Don’t stop stirring! Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan so the eggs don’t stick. Repeat this process for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper in the last minute.

Divide the sweet potato hash and eggs into six meal prep containers. Your portions will be approximately 1 1/2 cups of sweet potato hash and 1/2 to 2/3 cups of egg per container. Garnish with your chosen toppings, let everything cool, and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat!

Chef’s Tips

  • These Whole30 breakfast bowls are great bases to top with pretty much anything so it’s a different meal every time! I love to use pickled jalapeños, Everything but the Bagel seasoning, slices of avocado, or even Whole30 ranch dressing on mine!
  • Meal prep containers (a.k.a. bento boxes) are a must-have for recipes like this! You can get my favorites on Amazon (affiliate link) but you can probably find these containers at Target or really almost anywhere nowadays.
  • Fresh sweet potatoes will give you the most flavor and the best texture, but you can use frozen sweet potatoes if you prefer. Let them thaw completely in the refrigerator before cooking.
  • Eggs will continue to cook after removing them from the heat of the stovetop, so to avoid overcooked eggs, remove them just before you think they’re ready.

Notes

  • Make sure to use Whole30 compliant breakfast sausage! If you prefer, you can make your own by using one pound of ground turkey or pork, seasoned with:
    • 1 teaspoon dried sage
    • 3/4 teaspoons salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1/2 pinch ground cloves
  • If you prefer to use bacon, leave out the breakfast sausage and use 12-16 ounces of bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Make sure to use Whole30 compliant bacon!

    Hi, it says 532kcal?
    For US we use calories and I just want to make sure I remain in the 1800cal limit. Is this 532 calories for breakfast?

      Hi, Darsha! Yes, kcal are the same as calories! Keep in mind that the calories and other macros will vary depending on the specific types and brands of ingredients used. The calories in the meal prep bowl you make may be different than what we show here. We’ve just given a general guideline based on the ingredients we used when we created the recipe. If you’re watching your calories or other macros closely, it’s best if you plug your specific ingredients into a reliable food tracker (MyFitnessPal, LoseIt, Cronometer, etc.) to determine the numbers for what you’ll actually be eating.

    I am getting ready to start a Whole 30 next week and am loving all your recipe and meal prep ideas! Do you know if these would freeze well? I get tired of eating the same thing every day so it’s always nice if I can freeze some for another week.
