🥘Keto Southwestern Sheet Pan Breakfast Ingredients
These are the ingredients necessary to make Keto Southwestern Sheet Pan Breakfast.
- Eggs - I prefer cage-free/free-range eggs as they have way more flavor, so grab them if you can.
- Bacon - for this recipe I suggest regular bacon not thick sliced.
- Turnips - I always grab the medium or small turnips as they have a sweeter flavor and are less fibrous than the large turnips.
A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
Helpful Hint: 💡: To ensure that your turnips cook evenly and develop a nice golden brown color, spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Crowding them too closely together can cause them to steam rather than roast, resulting in a less crispy texture.
SUBSTITUTIONS
- Turnips - If you're not a fan of turnips or don't have any on hand, you can substitute them with other low-carb vegetables like radishes, cauliflower, or broccoli. These veggies will also roast nicely and provide a delicious base for the dish.
- Bacon - While bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the dish, you can swap it out for other keto-friendly proteins such as sausage, ham, or turkey bacon. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the protein you choose.
- Seasonings - Don't be afraid to play around with the seasonings to suit your taste preferences. You can add additional spices like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or ground coriander for extra flavor and heat.
📖VARIATIONS
- Cheesy Option -Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the turnip mixture during the last few minutes of baking.
- Avocado Topping - Serve each serving with a dollop of mashed avocado or slices of fresh avocado.
- Breakfast Burrito Bowl - Serve the roasted turnip mixture and eggs in bowls and top them with your favorite burrito toppings such as diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
🍽Equipment
This is the equipment you will need to make Keto Southwestern Sheet Pan Breakfast.
Storage
- Refrigerator Storage: Allow any leftover sheet pan breakfast to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or individual meal prep containers. Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer Storage: If you want to extend the shelf life of your leftovers, you can freeze them. Place the cooled leftovers in freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags. Make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Label the containers with the date and contents. The sheet pan breakfast can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
- Reheating: To reheat the leftovers, you can use the microwave, oven, or stovetop. For the microwave, place a portion of the leftovers on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high in 30-second intervals until heated through. If using the oven, transfer the leftovers to an oven-safe dish and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. If using the stovetop, warm the leftovers in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
By following these storage instructions, you can enjoy the leftover Keto Southwestern Sheet Pan Breakfast for convenient and delicious meals throughout the week.
💭Top tip
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite shredded cheese over the cracked eggs before baking. The cheese will melt and create a deliciously gooey layer over the eggs, adding richness and depth to the dish.
