Ingredients

2 lb russet potatoes, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes

1 lb sausages (chorizo, smoked, wild Italian, or your favorite), sliced

1-2 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes

1 large onion, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

2-3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

12 large eggs

1 cup cheddar cheese or any cheese of your choice

2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: On a large baking sheet, combine the diced potatoes, sliced sausages, chopped bell peppers, and chopped onion.

Step 3: Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, then sprinkle paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well to coat evenly.

Step 4: Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheet. For better roasting, transfer half of the mixture to the second baking sheet. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

Step 5: While the vegetables are roasting, crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble until just set but still soft.

Step 6: Divide the roasted sausage and vegetables into four bowls. Top each with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle with cheese and chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes for a different flavor and extra nutrients.

Swap out sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option.

Add spinach or kale to the roasting mix for an extra boost of greens.

For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning.

Make this recipe vegetarian by substituting sausage with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage alternatives.
