FAQ
Absolutely! Scrambled, fried, or soft-boiled eggs all work beautifully here depending on your preference.
Look for bacon that’s sugar-free, nitrate-free, and from pasture-raised pork. Always check the label to be sure it’s clean! I always go for the Applegate brand at Whole Foods.
Yes! Bake the bacon and sweet potatoes at 400°F—bacon for about 10–12 minutes, sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
