Hello to my new breakfast friend....Twice Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes<<< Yes Please!
So let's just say I'm a big fan of mixing sweet & spicy flavors together.
Whether it be in the form of nachos or salad....pairing together sweet & spicy just seems to work on so many levels.
And when I can start my day on a Happy note → yummy healthy food then the day can't help but be good.
Cause your Mamma was not kidding when she said "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"....gotta love her for that one, Right?
I mean she knew what she was talking about and even though we may not have listened I can so appreciate all the yummy breakfasts that were served.
Even though none of them consisted of sweet potatoes they somehow instilled in me my love for good food.
Although I do remember lots of pan fried potatoes along with eggs... there were not too many sweet potatoes in sight...
Mostly you would find those on the Holiday table and pretty much ALWAYS prepared the same way.
So anyway, I've kinda made it my mission to get creative with sweet potatoes and these Twice Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes are no exception.
Especially since these Twice Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes are....
- The perfect mix of sweet & spicy
- Great for a special breakfast or brunch
- One of the most nutritious vegetables around
- A great source of Vitamin A, C and manganese
- Also good served for dinner
- Gluten Free & Vegetarian
