Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup diced mushrooms
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the potatoes roast, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and bell pepper and cook 5 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.
- Grease four 2-cup oven-safe meal prep containers or a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes evenly among containers. Top with cooked vegetables.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving.
