I was looking for ideas on what to make for a hearty breakfast that doesn’t involve bacon or sausages, and that uses sweet potatoes (hubby’s favorite) and lots of colorful veggies (daughter’s requirement). I searched online and found many delicious sounding recipes. However, when I was reading through this breakfast recipe from Love and Lemons<\/strong> https:\/\/www.loveandlemons.com\/breakfast-casserole\/ <\/a> it inspired me to put together my Colorful Veggies And Sweet Potatoes Casserole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, I like to look for inspiration recipes that I can adapt to suit my family’s taste, in this case, a vegetarian casserole that is loaded with flavors. The recipe is fairly straightforward, using items I usually have in my pantry and fridge. In addition, I really like how this recipe tastes because it uses roasted sweet potato<\/strong> as an unexpected base, and then one layer of flavorful roasted veggies, then another layer with cheese, scallion and jalapeno middle, and topped with more roasted veggie. Then, everything is tied together with a delicious egg milk garlic mixture, and baked in the oven for about 40 minutes! Yum! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of being tasty and flavorful, this dish can be conveniently served warm or at room temperature. Also, it is easy to slice and serve to a larger crowd. This casserole is definitely a wonderful addition to your breakfast or brunch table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what I made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post I’ll share how I put the casserole together. Overall it took about 1 and a half hour to put this whole thing together, from start to finish. Hands-on prep time took about 20 minutes – mostly just chopping and getting the veggies ready. The rest of the time is just roasting and baking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
