Hailing from my Idaho roots, I can confidently declare that this sheet pan potato breakfast recipe is an absolute game-changer. Potatoes, often underestimated, are an incredibly versatile and economical staple. When thoughtfully combined with an array of fresh vegetables and the irresistible crunch of bacon, they transform into a breakfast that truly feels like a little slice of heaven. This dish isn’t just delicious; it’s a testament to how simple ingredients can create something extraordinary.

I wholeheartedly believe that this recipe makes an exceptional choice for any holiday breakfast or festive brunch. Its appeal lies not only in its delightful taste but also in its incredible simplicity. The magic happens all on one sheet pan, eliminating the need for countless pots and pans and drastically reducing cleanup time. This means less stress in the kitchen and more precious moments spent with loved ones during those special occasions. Imagine hosting a holiday gathering and serving a gourmet-looking, yet effortlessly prepared, breakfast that caters to everyone’s dietary needs.

For years, our holiday mornings were synonymous with elaborate egg bakes. However, due to evolving food allergies in our family, eggs are no longer an option. This sheet pan breakfast bacon potatoes recipe has emerged as the perfect, eagerly embraced substitute. It’s so incredibly flavorful and satisfying that no one has ever voiced a single complaint about the change. In fact, it’s often requested!

One of the most appealing aspects of this sheet pan breakfast is its hands-off cooking time. Once the pan is loaded and placed in the oven, your work is largely done. This frees you up to tackle other important morning tasks, such as setting a beautiful table, brewing fresh coffee, or, most importantly, simply enjoying more relaxed and quality time with your family. This year, it’s definitely going to be the star of our Christmas breakfast spread, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the holiday spirit without being tethered to the stove.

Beyond its inherent deliciousness, this recipe shines in its remarkable adaptability. If you’re aiming for a slightly lighter version (though, honestly, holidays are rarely about calorie counting in my book!), simply swap traditional bacon for turkey bacon. The method remains the same, but with a different flavor profile. For our vegan friends and family, a delicious plant-based bacon substitute, often referred to as “facon,” works wonderfully, allowing everyone to enjoy the savory goodness of this breakfast creation. The versatility truly knows no bounds, making it a crowd-pleaser for various dietary preferences.

What truly elevates this recipe in my estimation is its inherent delegability. As someone who often cooks for a family with multiple food allergies, I frequently find delegating tasks to be challenging. Many allergy-friendly recipes require specific, sometimes uncommon, ingredients that family members might not readily have in their pantries or even know how to source. This sheet pan breakfast, however, utilizes universally available, naturally allergy-friendly ingredients that almost anyone can find and confidently prepare. It empowers other family members to contribute to the meal preparation without any stress or confusion, fostering a wonderful sense of shared effort and inclusivity.

Trust me when I say that this recipe underwent rigorous testing, not just once, but multiple times. My most fervent food peeve is undoubtedly an under-seasoned potato dish. Potatoes, by their very nature, demand generous seasoning to truly come alive and avoid tasting bland or uninspired. I can confidently assure you that this recipe is perfectly seasoned, boasting a robust and balanced flavor profile. And, let’s be honest, utilizing all that rich, savory bacon grease certainly doesn’t hurt the cause – it’s a secret weapon for infusing deep, complex flavors into every bite!

I particularly adore that this sheet pan meal is generously loaded with vegetables. Yes, you have the option to omit the mushrooms if they’re not to your liking (I’m fairly certain my kids would prefer I did!), but the inclusion of colorful bell peppers and onions adds both nutritional value and delightful texture. With protein from the bacon, a medley of vibrant veggies, and satisfying starch from the potatoes, you essentially have a complete breakfast, all consolidated onto a single pan. I always make sure to fill my sheet pan to the brim – feel free to adjust the amount of vegetables to your personal preference – ensuring there are plenty of leftovers. These are fantastic for a quick and easy lunch, or as a wonderful, ready-to-eat breakfast the following day, making meal prep a breeze.

This versatile sheet pan breakfast also serves as an excellent opportunity to clean out your refrigerator. Practically any number of vegetables can be wonderfully incorporated into this dish. Consider adding different colored bell peppers for extra visual appeal and varied flavor, zucchini for a tender bite, or even squash for a touch of autumnal sweetness. The seasonings used in this recipe are incredibly forgiving and versatile, meaning they will beautifully complement a wide array of vegetable options you might have on hand. It’s a fantastic way to minimize food waste while maximizing flavor and nutrition.

Have I managed to convince you yet? Seriously, plan to make these Sheet Pan Bacon Breakfast Potatoes for your next holiday gathering, especially Christmas breakfast, and ensure everyone feels included and delighted. I often find myself craving something distinctly savory to counterbalance all the sweet treats and sugary delights that inevitably come with holiday stockings and festive baking. This dish provides that perfect balance, offering a grounding, satisfying element to an otherwise indulgent morning. I sincerely hope you all have a truly wonderful holiday season. Be sure to pin this recipe for later, as it’s so good and so easy, we often enjoy it for a delicious and comforting “breakfast-for-dinner” meal too!

Oh! And one crucial detail I nearly forgot to mention. While I am perfectly content to gobble up these delicious breakfast potatoes plain, my family occasionally enjoys topping them with a creamy, dairy-free ranch dressing. This is an unsponsored recommendation, but we are genuine fans of Hampton Creek’s Just Ranch if you’re seeking a convenient and flavorful bottled option that meets dietary needs.

For those who can enjoy eggs, you might also appreciate this delicious Mexican Breakfast Casserole by Evolving Table, offering another fantastic option for your morning meal.

Dairy & Gluten-free Breakfast Bacon Potatoes

Yield:
4-5 servings

Prep Time:
10 minutes

Cook Time:
45 minutes

Total Time:
55 minutes

This recipe provides a complete, satisfying breakfast featuring crispy bacon, tender roasted potatoes, and a colorful medley of vegetables, all prepared effortlessly on a single sheet pan. The secret to its incredible depth of flavor lies in the savory bacon grease, which generously coats and seasons every ingredient, ensuring a mouthwatering and hearty meal. Specially designed for individuals with food allergies, these Dairy & Gluten-free Breakfast Bacon Potatoes are naturally free of the top-8 common allergens, making them a safe and delicious option for everyone. Enjoy the classic taste of diner-style breakfast potatoes without any concerns about cross-contact or unsuitable ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 package bacon (use turkey bacon for low-fat)
• 2 and 1/2 pounds potatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1 package mushrooms, sliced
• 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons minced garlic
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
• Optional: freshly ground pepper, freshly parsley, green onions
• Top with dairy-free ranch

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place the bacon on the sheet pan, close together, but not overlapping. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until it is nice and crispy.
2. While the bacon cooks, dice all of your vegetables and add them in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the olive oil and spices.
3. When the bacon is done cooking, remove the bacon to a paper towel and leave the bacon grease on the sheet.
4. Place your spiced potato and vegetable mixture onto the same sheet pan. Stir around to thoroughly coat in the bacon grease (you can use all of the grease like me, or remove some).
5. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
6. Raise the temperature to 500 and cook an additional 10 minutes.
7. Finally, turn up your oven to broil and finish cooking 2-4 minutes, or until everything has a nice brown on it. (You don’t have to do this step, but I like the tops of mine really crisp.)
8. Serve warm, with any additional toppings you want on it like additional salt and pepper, fresh parsley and green onions.
9. Leftovers keep 2-3 days in an air tight container.

Notes

Adapted from Chelsea’s Messy Apron

For optimal results, ensure your potatoes are chopped into roughly uniform pieces for even cooking. Don’t be shy with the seasonings – potatoes love flavor! If you prefer less bacon grease, feel free to drain a portion of it before adding the vegetables, though keeping it all truly enhances the flavor.

*For a vegan version, simply omit the traditional bacon. Instead, skip the bacon cooking step and proceed directly with tossing the vegetables and potatoes with olive oil and spices on a clean, oiled sheet pan. You can always top the finished dish with a delicious vegan bacon substitute that doesn’t require cooking, such as this popular brand, for added texture and flavor.
