Paleo Sweet Potato Egg Nests

Pin it for Later

Do those of you on paleo diets struggle with breakfast ideas?  I know I do, especially when I first started my healing journey. I would see others eating salads and tons of veggies for breakfast, and there’s no way I could at the beginning.  Paleo sweet potato egg nests might be thee answer.  They are the perfect nutrient dense breakfast that the whole family will ask for over and over again.  If you follow the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD), you can make these with spiralized butternut squash or carrots.

This winter, I received a Veggie Bullet and wanted to try it out with potatoes.  I am also a fan of quick, healthy recipes that can be prepped ahead of time.  This sweet potato egg nest recipe is so simple and delicious.  You can spiralize the potatoes in advance, toss them with olive oil and spices, then throw them in the oven for a breakfast ready in less than 30 minutes.

To make the egg nests more nutrient dense, you could add spiralized zucchini and carrots.
