About This Recipe

If you’ve known me for any amount of time, you know my love for eggs in the morning runs deep! And these Healthy Breakfast bowls are the perfect way to combine runny (or however you prefer eggs), crispy potatoes, fresh veggies and savory chicken sausage!

These high protein, gluten-free bowls provide all the essentials you need for a filling and substantial meal to start your morning.

These protein-packed breakfast bowls are always a great way to meal prep for the mornings! Easily prepare these bowls in advance and enjoy all week for a hearty breakfast! They’re made with simple, staple breakfast ingredients and are so easy to customize to your preference! 

You can switch these bowls up by cooking your eggs to preference (scrambled, hard-boiled, over-easy, sunny side up, fried, etc), switch up your protein, use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, add any extra veggies you love or top with your favorite cheese, a few green onions, avocado or hot sauce! Seriously, get creative and enjoy an easy breakfast all week long! 

These bowls are the great for a busy weekday morning but are also amazing if you’re a breakfast for dinner fan! No matter what meal of the day, these bowls are an excellent choice and will leave you feeling satisfied and full of energy!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Ingredients for healthy breakfast bowls with eggs and potatoes.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes – petite sized
  • Bell peppers – I used green and red bell peppers
  • Onion
  • Eggs
  • Chicken sausage – like Jones or Applegate, regular & turkey breakfast sausage works too!  
  • Seasonings – salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper 

Optional Variations and Dietary Adaptions

  • Increase protein: add in some egg whites (or an extra egg) when cooking your eggs, or more turkey sausage 
  • Add more veggies: increase the veggies by adding spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, etc.
  • Sweet potatoes: instead of regular potatoes, sweet potatoes go so good with the eggs for a touch of sweetness! 
  • Add toppings: top with cotija cheese, shredded cheese, feta cheese, salsa, guacamole, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, etc!
  • Make vegan: omit eggs and use a vegan-friendly meat alternative like Morning Star Sausage!

How To Make

The full printable recipe is below, but let me walk you through the process so you know what to expect when you’re making it!

How to make the potatoes.

Step 1: Preheat air fryer to 390F. Wash and dry potatoes well then cut into small pieces (roughly the same size so they cook evenly). You can also use a dicer for this to make it easier! 

Step 2: Add potatoes to a bowl. Toss with cooking spray (or use 2-3 tsp olive oil), then add the seasonings and toss evenly to coat.

Step 3: Place potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (no overlapping).

Step 4: Cook for 10 minutes, then toss around/flip, and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until roasted to liking.

How to make the peppers.

Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Add the pepper and onions to a bowl.

Step 6: Toss with cooking spray (or use 2-3 tsp olive oil), then add the seasonings and toss evenly to coat.

Step 7: Spray the air fryer basket and place the peppers and onions inside.

Step 8: Air fry for 15-17 minutes, tossing half way through.

Cooking the egg and adding to the breakfast bowl.

Step 9: Grease a skillet with cooking spray or butter and set to medium-low heat. When warm, add the eggs.

Step 10: Cook over easy, scrambled or however you’d like. When prepping these bowls one-at-a-time at home, I like to make my eggs over-easy. However, when meal prepping these bowls I like to scramble my eggs. I also make sure not to over cook the eggs at this point because they will cook a little more when you go to reheat them! Feel free to add extra egg whites to increase the protein (which is what I’ll usually do!) 

Step 11: Divide the potatoes and peppers evenly amongst four bowls (or assemble one at a time and store the rest to build your bowls later). Each bowl: about 3/4 cup potatoes (81g), 1 cup peppers and onions (44g), 2 eggs, 2 sausage links/patties. 

Step 12: Top with the eggs and sausage. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and freshly cracked black pepper and enjoy! Other yummy topping ideas: cotija cheese, shredded cheese, feta cheese, salsa, guacamole, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, etc.

Helpful Tips

  • Prepping eggs: If I know I’m going to be enjoying these bowls at home in the morning, I will prep the potatoes, sausage, and peppers and make my eggs over-easy each morning. However, if I am meal prepping these bowl for the week, I like to scramble my eggs. I also make sure not to over cook the eggs at this point because they will cook a little more when you go to reheat them!
  • Time saving tip! If you want to make these bowls even quicker, use shredded hash browns in place of the roasted potatoes!

FAQ: Healthy Breakfast Bowls with Eggs and Potatoes

How can I make this breakfast bowl recipe if I don’t have an air fryer?

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast your potatoes and peppers on a sheet pan in the oven.

For the potatoes: preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Add potatoes to the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and roasted to liking.

For the peppers: add peppers to a lined baking sheet (or spray with cooking spray). Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. I like to broil the edges of the peppers the last few minutes to get them crispy and brown! 

What is the best way to reheat breakfast bowls?

To reheat these breakfast bowls, place glass meal prep container in the microwave and microwave on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or until heated through through.

Can I freeze these bowls?

Yes! These bowls are great to prep in advance and stash in the freezer for 1-2 months! To defrost: let bowl sit in fridge overnight then reheat in microwave.
