      Breakfast: Sweet Potato and Spinach Egg Bites

      Egg bites are a delicious and convenient way to get some protein in the mornings. These ones get an extra nutrition boost with antioxidant-rich sweet potato and spinach. Using grated sweet potato ensures all of the ingredients cook evenly during the baking time. Once you’ve made these—and tasted their goodness—they’ll become an easy addition to your breakfast repertoire. Reheat and repeat While these egg bites go together in a minute, you can also make them ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat when you’re ready to eat them. Five minutes in the air fryer on the reheat setting at 325 F (160 C) will do it nicely. Or place them on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for about 2 minutes.
