Whole30 & Paleo Breakfast Tray Bake

This Whole30 & Paleo Breakfast Tray Bake is perfect to meal prep on Sundays for the week, or serve to your family for an easy weekend breakfast. It’s easy to change up the ingredients and seasonings for a different flavor each time!

Hi, hello my name is Jess and I’m a Whole30 breakfast repeater.

I’m not kidding when I say we ate some variation of breakfast tray bakes for three out of the four weeks of our Whole30. (Week 1 we had a breakfast casserole and we were over that real fast).

Here’s what I like about this Breakfast Tray Bake:

1. It’s easy.
2. You can switch it up each week with whatever vegetables you have on hand.
3. You get three dishes dirty. Two, if you’re dedicated to seasoning on the parchment paper instead of in a large mixing bowl.
4. It’s easy.

Are ya with me?

Breakfast was is my favorite meal of the day, but I also needed something I could meal prep on Sunday and throw together in minimal time during the week. Enter: Breakfast Tray Bake.

Breakfast Tray Bake: Picking Your Ingredients

Here’s the outline of this simple meal:

• Chop ALL OF THE VEGGIES.
• Season said veggies.
• Throw veggies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Done-zo.

Come Monday morning, pull out your container of roasted veggies (we love to store them in these!), reheat and pair with a protein and fat, and breakfast is served. Our breakfast trays were different each week, and we always each had our own.

Most week’s, my husband’s was a combination of potatoes, bell pepper and onion (seen above). Sometimes I added spinach to his because ohdearlordpleaseeatsomethinggreen. Switch up the seasoning on your veggies and you’ve got a whole new flavor each week. My breakfast tray bakes had more variety, but usually included a few from this list:

• brussels sprouts
• butternut squash
• delicata squash
• red onion
• sweet onion
• garlic
• japanese sweet potatoes
• regular sweet potatoes
• red potatoes
• kale/spinach
• carrots

Are you ready, ’cause I’m throwing some more options at you. Obviously, you can’t have just a plate of roasted veggies for breakfast (though I totally would). Next, you’ll need to add your protein:

• Eggs (Switch it up for even more variety- scrambled, hard boiled, over easy, etc.)
• Chicken sausage (read your labels)
• Pulled pork
• Any other protein! It doesn’t have to be eggs, y’all.

Add a half avocado or some nuts for a healthy fat, and your breakfast is COMPLETE. Add some fruit if you’re feelin’ it. See how easy that is to throw together? Even better, see how easy it is to switch things up and not get bored with the same breakfast 5 days in a row?

Living a busy life? Check out these divided meal prep containers that let you put your veggies and hard boiled eggs all in one container. Just grab and go! I like the clear glass because you can see through them and remember what’s inside.

How Do I Know How Many Vegetables I Need?

Easy peasy. Think about how much sweet potato you would eat in one serving- about half? Or more? Simply multiply that by the number of days you need breakfast for.

So, for 5 days of breakfasts, I may chop 2 sweet potatoes, half an onion, a few cloves of garlic, 2 cups of brussel sprouts, and 2 cups of squash. If you’ve got the entirety of your tray covered, you’re good.

Does The Baking Time and Temperature Change Depending On My Vegetables?

Negative. Baking at 400 for 20 minutes is just the right amount of time no matter what your ingredients are. Be sure to chop your potatoes and hard vegetables in a uniform size- about a half inch. When 20 minutes are up, if a fork easily pierces your potatoes, you’re done!

If you’re adding spinach or kale, toss it in for the last five minutes of baking time and be sure to keep an eye on it. Alternatively, you can mix in the spinach once the vegetables are done cooking. The residual heat and olive oil are enough to soften the spinach.

Add this Breakfast Tray Bake to your meal prep on Sunday and you’ll have a week of easy, healthy breakfasts! Here are some other favorite breakfasts you can meal prep:

• Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats
• The Easiest Chia Seed Pudding
• Lazy Girl’s Egg White Muffins
