This bowl is the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent but is actually a smart, balanced way to start the day. It packs in protein, fiber, and healthy fats without sacrificing taste. Whether you’re prepping ahead for busy mornings or enjoying a slow weekend brunch, it delivers every time.
What Kind of Sausage Should I Use?

Ingredients for the Savory Breakfast Power Bowl with Sausage, Eggs & Greens
- Sweet Potatoes: Roasted until caramelized, they add natural sweetness and fiber to balance the richness.
- Smoked Sausage: Sliced and seared for a crispy, savory bite.
- Eggs: Soft-scrambled with cream or milk for a rich, custardy texture.
- Avocado: Adds creaminess and healthy fats that keep you full longer.
- Kale or Spinach: Lightly sautéed in olive oil for a warm, earthy contrast.
- Olive Oil & Seasonings: Enhances the veggies and potatoes with depth and aroma.
How To Make the Savory Breakfast Power Bowl with Sausage, Eggs & Greens
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes until golden and crisp on the edges.
Step 2: Sear the Sausage
Slice your sausage into rounds and sauté in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the edges are browned and slightly crisp. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Whisk eggs with a splash of milk or cream. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the eggs slowly, stirring gently to create soft curds. Remove from heat while still slightly glossy.
Step 4: Sauté the Greens
In the same skillet used for the sausage (wipe it clean if needed), heat a small amount of olive oil. Add chopped kale or spinach, sautéing just until wilted and bright green. Season lightly with salt.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowl
Divide roasted sweet potatoes into bowls. Add sausage, scrambled eggs, sautéed greens, and slices of avocado. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper or hot sauce if desired.
How to Serve and Store the Savory Breakfast Bowl
This power bowl is best served warm and fresh from the stove. For a brunch spread, serve with coffee or a fresh smoothie. You can also meal-prep components separately and assemble during the week. Store sweet potatoes, sausage, and greens in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge. Scrambled eggs and avocado are best made fresh.
