Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Cube sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them out on a sheet pan and roast at 400°F for about 18 to 25 minutes, flipping once halfway.
- While the potatoes roast, cook your choice of protein if using.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mixing and Baking
- Stir in the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked protein, chopped veggies, and cheese (if using).
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 to 35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing to help it hold together.
Notes
For extra flavor, season the egg mixture itself. You can also prepare this casserole ahead of time and reheat throughout the week. Use smaller portions for freezing and reheat individual squares as needed.
