Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe
Healthy Sausage Recipe - Chicken Sausage Breakfast Bowl

Breakfast bowls are all the rage – at least here in LA. It’s a super straightforward dish really – whole grains topped with eggs, veggies, meat, and whatever else sounds good. And I really like them, but like all breakfast foods, I like them for dinner…including this healthy sweet potato breakfast bowl recipe!

I tend to be a light eater in the early hours of the day and, really, through the afternoon. But come dinnertime, I WANT FOOD!!! And since you know as well as I do that whole grains and veggies are basically always on the menu, these whole grain bowls are pretty much a tri-weekly affair.

Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

Trying to keep it delicious and filling for my husband, however (bless his patient, food-loving soul), I usually like to mix up the protein.

My guy loves sausage of any kind, but I love getting the al fresco all natural fully cooked chicken sausage since it’s so much healthier than its pork counterpart and, quite frankly, I like it so much better! So you can bet this healthy chicken sausage recipe is a sure win every single time…

Healthy Sausage Recipe

This healthy recipe for a grain bowl is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner depending on your needs and wants. I also love that it comes together so quickly and is a great way to use up extra roasted veggies. Have I piqued your interest yet?

The recipe below calls for cooked rice and roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts (get the trick to brussel sprouts without the bitterness here). Honestly, you could do bell peppers and mushrooms. Or zucchini and leeks. And you can saute them if you want.

You do whatever sounds good. Or whatever you have in your kitchen (the bigger reality). The type of produce you use doesn’t matter. And in case you didn’t read between the lines there – this recipe call for whatever veggies you have in your kitchen, including the leftover ones!!

And since I’m giving you leeway to do pretty much whatever you want in this healthy sausage recipe, you can go all quinoa. or couscous. or farro. It doesn’t matter. With the whole grains, chicken sausage, and veggies, you can’t lose. And with the deliciousness of fresh lemon zest and avocado, you’ll be doing a happy dance in no time!

SWEET POTATO BREAKFAST BOWL

We eat some kind of breakfast for dinner almost every week. It’s easy and easily thrown together last minute. My recent favorite are whole grain bowls full of brown rice and veggies. My husband loves sausage, so these all natural chicken sausages are a perfect balance for us. Swap out the grains and veggies for whatever you have on hand!
