Pizza for breakfast is always a good idea! And since our Easy Vegan Sausage Crumbles are tasty on (real) pizza, we thought: What about a nourishing vegan breakfast bowl inspired by pizza? It’s a winner, friends!
Just 30 minutes required for this protein-packed, plant-based dish with savory roasted veggies, potatoes, and Italian-inspired tempeh sausage. Let us show you how it’s done!
These savory, nourishing vegan breakfast bowls begin with roasting a colorful array of veggies that sweeten as they cook: red onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Potatoes provide heartiness, comfort, and that classic breakfast touch!
While the veggies are roasting, it’s time to make the protein: tempeh “sausage.” Cubed tempeh takes a whirl in the food processor with Italian-inspired spices and then gets cooked to perfection and seasoned with tamari and maple syrup for BIG flavor.
The last step is to combine it all in your favorite bowl and top with optional avocado, parsley, and hot sauce.
We hope you LOVE these breakfast bowls! They’re:
Savory
Naturally sweet
Quick & easy
Nourishing
Perfect for meal prep
& Remind us of pizza!
While super satisfying for breakfast, these bowls are a delicious meal any time of the day! To make them for meal prep, we recommend making the tempeh sausage and roasted veggies up to 3-4 days ahead and reheating them in a cast iron skillet to help them crisp up when ready to eat.
