Ingredients & Health Benefits
- Bacon: I use Organic Valley Pork Bacon, you can use your favorite.
- Sausage: I’m using Applegate Organic Chicken and Apple Breakfast Sausages for ease. But you can also use a homemade version like my Turkey Maple Breakfast Sausages or Homemade Pork Breakfast Sausages. The addition of sausages add more protein to the breakfast bowl.
- Sweet Potato: I love sweet potatoes for healthy carbs that also have vitamin A, antioxidants, and more.
- Coconut Oil: I use organic coconut oil which is healthy fat with antioxidants and anti inflammatory properties.
- Cinnamon: I eat organic ground cinnamon almost every morning as it can help regulate your hormones. It also is rich in antioxidants and can help regulate blood sugar.
- Pumpkin Seeds: I add organic roasted and salted pumpkin seeds for a little crunch. These tiny seeds also are packed with zinc, calcium, magnesium, and more.
- Apple: I add in an apple for a little sweetness. Apples also are great for digestion and have antioxidants and anti inflammatory properties.
Tools Needed
- Cutting Board: You’ll need a cutting board to chop the sweet potato.
- Knife: You’ll need a sharp knife to cut the sweet potato and apple.
- Baking Sheet: You’ll need a half sheet pan to bake the sweet potatoes.
- Parchment Paper: I use nontoxic parchment paper to ensure the potatoes don’t stick to the baking sheet.
- Foil: I prefer to cook bacon with foil as I bake it in the air fryer. But you could do this just in a skillet or even on a sheet pan in the oven.
- Air Fryer: I use my air fryer to cook the bacon, but you could also do this in a skillet over the stovetop or in the oven.
- Small Skillet: You’ll need a small skillet to heat the sausages.
