High Protein Breakfast Sweet Potatoes

High Protein Breakfast Sweet Potatoes


  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Diet: Gluten-Free, High Protein

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and dried
  • 1 cup cooked beef sausage crumbles (halal-friendly)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (as a sour cream alternative)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh salsa or pico de gallo
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Use a fork to poke several holes all over the sweet potatoes. This allows steam to escape during baking.
  3. Rub the outside of the potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place them on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft when pierced with a knife.
  5. While the potatoes are roasting, heat the beef sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and hot. Set aside.
  6. In the same skillet or a separate pan, cook your eggs to your preference. Poached or sunny-side-up eggs work beautifully as the yolk creates a delicious sauce.
  7. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for five minutes.
  8. Slice each potato down the center lengthwise. Use a fork to gently mash and fluff the orange flesh inside.
  9. Stuff each potato with the warm beef sausage and black beans.
  10. Top each potato with a cooked egg, a dollop of Greek yogurt, avocado slices, and salsa.
  11. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of black pepper before serving hot.
