Please read my disclosure policy. Delicious oven roasted breakfast potatoes with crisp tender veggies and smoky bacon all cooked on one sheet pan! Pair these savory potatoes with this simple ham and cheese quiche or easy egg skillet. Breakfast Potatoes We’re huge breakfast fans at my home, in fact, my boys love will tell you there is nothing they love more than a big breakfast meal. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, dutch baby, waffles, crepes, quiche — they’re frequently served in my home. Typically we’ll do breakfast for dinner one night a week and a big Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast. And if for some reason these breakfast potatoes aren’t served, my boys will beg to see them on the table next time. These potatoes are the perfect way to get some (very tasty) veggies in for breakfast as well as getting bacon on the table. And as much as I love bacon, I don’t always love the mess. So this recipe is especially nice since the bacon cooks up on a sheet pan — mess free! We actually use the grease rendered from the bacon to cook the veggies in, and let me tell you, it’s life changing! The veggies and potatoes are insanely flavorful with crispy roasted exteriors and soft, tender interiors. Recipe tips Cut vegetables into roughly equal sizes. This ensures even roasting so there aren’t some under-cooked veggies and some over-cooked. Spray the sheet pan. Although the bacon renders a good amount of grease, the bacon has a tendency to stick to the sheet pan when being baked so I recommend spraying the pan first. QUICK TIPUse a LARGE sheet pan: the more space the potatoes and veggies have (the less crowded they are) the better they roast. When vegetables are overlapping or jammed into a sheet pan, they end up steaming instead of roasting which greatly affects the end taste/texture. I love this 15×21 inch sheet pan – which is practically the width of my oven. I can’t recommend the large sheet pan enough!

Generously spray (with nonstick cooking spray) a very large sheet pan. Lay out 10 slices of bacon. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is at desired crispiness. Remove from the oven and using a metal spatula, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside. Once the bacon has cooled off a bit, coarsely chop it and set aside.VEGGIES: Meanwhile, wash and prepare the veggies. Chop the red potatoes, peppers, and onion and then place the prepared veggies on the same sheet pan you used to cook the bacon on (don't discard the bacon grease!). Add the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and dried parsley. Toss well to ensure all the veggies are well coated and tossed in seasonings. Spread out the veggies so they aren't overlapping (this will cause veggies to steam not roast)BAKE: Bake for 15 minutes, toss the veggies with a metal spatula. Return to the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove and toss again. Return, once more for 5-10 minutes or until veggies are crisp tender.ENJOY: Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper before serving if needed. Add the chopped bacon on top and, if desired, freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy hot! Video Nutrition FactsCalories: 257kcal We do our best to provide accurate nutritional analysis for our recipes.

This is the kind of meal that my family loves. Although, we’ve never made it on one pan. We’ll have to do that next time. It will make clean-up so much easier! Reply
Loved this recipe and so did my family! I had prebaked russet potatoes that I wanted to use up, so I cut those up and put them in with the roasted veges about halfway through. It turned out great! Thanks for the recipe! Reply
Have you ever visited your website on mobile? Because I have and its terrible. I can get generic recipes from websites that don’t assault my vision with just so, so many ads. Even while posting this comment. Ads. Reply
So I am sorry, but wow do I agree! I found your site earlier today and I have to say I love your recipes! But oh my Goodness… I can’t even look at pictures of each step because literally there is a pop-up on each and every single picture. And I can’t read what you’ve written on the pictures in the steps without trying to close out of the ad. Which at least 50% of the time I end up accidentally clicking on. Super frustrating I gotta say. I am hoping it’s just the mobile site that’s like this. I really enjoy looking at your recipes they look delicious and I would love to follow you but not if I can’t even see the recipes with all the pop-ups. Just something to think about. Otherwise absolutely fantastic. Reply
