Step One: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step Two: Toss the diced sweet potatoes in the oil, sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder until well coated. Place the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer on the lined sheet pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are slightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step Three: When the sweet potatoes are done, it’s time to make the eggs. Add the eggs to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are well combined.

Topping and Serving Ideas
avocado – a slice of fresh avocado or homemade guacamole is a great addition to these breakfast tacos, too!
cilantro – you can add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of each taco to finish them off!
diced tomato – to add some freshness you can go with diced tomato or homemade pico de gallo!
pickled onions – I love adding these to tacos for a fresh, sweet, and tangy bite. If you need to make a homemade batch you can use THIS RECIPE.
jalapeños – thinly sliced fresher or pickled are both great options!
sharp cheddar – for the perfect cheesy finish.
Greek yogurt or sour cream – whole milk Greek yogurt or sour cream are both delicious.
hot sauce – for the final spicy kick!
How to Store and Reheat
Store: if you have any leftover sweet potatoes, store them in an air-tight container in the fridge. I recommend making one egg per person so that you don’t have leftovers as the scrambled eggs are best fresh.
Reheat: you can reheat any leftover sweet potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees until warmed through or on the stovetop in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Made these this morning. SO bomb! Will make it again. Like my namesake says, you can roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time and just warm them as you cook everything else.
