Description

Perfect for breakfast or lunch, these wonderful pita bread sandwiches are filled with chicken sausage, roasted vegetables, and goat cheese.

Ingredients

1 cup peeled, seeded, and cubed butternut squash
1 cup peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 links apple chicken sausage (such as Aidells®), thinly sliced and quartered
4 eggs
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons goat cheese, or to taste
2 large whole-wheat pita breads, toasted and halved

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Combine butternut squash, sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a storage container. Cover with lid and shake well until fully coated. Place vegetables onto a baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes.
4 Place chicken sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; add eggs, spinach, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Mix in black beans; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add goat cheese.
5 Fill pita breads with scrambled eggs and baked vegetables.
