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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
