Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sausage Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a light greasing to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks.

   In a large bowl, take your sweet potato cubes and toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

3. Step 3

   Make sure every cube is well coated; this will add a delightful flavor.

   Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and pop them into the oven to roast for about 30 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

5. Step 5

   While those sweet potatoes are roasting to perfection, grab a large skillet and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

6. Step 6

   Toss in the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking them for 2 to 3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.

7. Step 7

   Add in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

    Stir in some fresh baby spinach, gooey mozzarella cheese, and fragrant minced rosemary for an extra burst of flavor.

    Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and the remaining kosher salt and black pepper until everything is well combined.

14. Step 14

    Pour this creamy egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable blend, gently tossing to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated.
