Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped into 1″ cubes
• 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped into 1″ cubes
• 1 onion, chopped into 1″ cubes
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Homemade seasoned salt and pepper
• 12 eggs
• 4 oz freshly shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 green onions, chopped
• Optional toppings: avocado, tortilla chips, salsa
• 6 individual storage containers with lids

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread potatoes, green pepper, and onion across a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, seasoned salt, and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
2. Transfer half the vegetables to a second sheet pan. Roast both pans for 30–40 minutes, stirring and rotating halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
3. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Add the eggs and scramble until just set and still glossy. Transfer to a plate.
5. Divide the roasted vegetables and scrambled eggs evenly into the containers. Allow to cool completely.
6. Sprinkle each portion with cheddar cheese and green onions. Cover and refrigerate. Freeze any portions that won’t be eaten within three days.
