OK, can I just say WOW! I think you are really going to like this breakfast waffle sandwich because it is such a treat. I know what you are thinking my Whole30 friends. Can I even eat that?
Well I am happy to say… “Yes, you can!” Whole30-heartedly.
As with most things I think there are always some grey areas especially when it comes to diet life plans.
But you should be the judge of that I guess as everyone is different and their exercise, metabolism, and any other unique health needs to you as individual play a role differently for everyone. I guess the main thing is try not too over think things too much. Count your calories, watch the amount you consume of different nutrients and so on.
Bottom line, you are the one who needs to decide what is the best balance for yourself and your family. I really don’t see that there is much difference form this and having sautéed sweet potatoes and kale in a pan then adding avocado and an egg. Honestly, this is basically a variation of what I eat all the time but I just switched it up a bit to avoid getting bored with the same ingredients, same meals, and without making things a lot less healthy and so on.
Okay, now let’s get the recipe at hand!
PALEO WHOLE30 SWEET POTATO WAFFLE BREAKFAST SANDWICH
WHAT YOU NEED
- sweet potato
- eggs
- oil
- kale
- avocado
First, you need to make the sweet potato waffle, well really it’s not like a regular waffle per se. We are simply going to grate the sweet potato, add one egg whisked, and the oil. This is close to sweet potato hash browns. then an actual waffle as you can see.
Then next you will cook all of the ingredients together in your waffle iron until browned. In the meantime, you will slice up some avocado, fry your egg, and sauté your kale.
See, that’s not time consuming and very easy as I said. This should definitely make an amazing “BFD” for those who like “breakfast for dinner”. I know I do occasionally, ok well more often than I like to admit. Maybe you can use it for a weekend brunch or breakfast. Let’s recap! You are getting healthy fats from the avocado and egg, good carbs with the sweet potato, and protein for the win-win-win!!

- Category: Breakfast
- Method: waffle iron

QUICK NOTES
- Grease the waffle iron really well so you don’t have pieces stuck when removing the waffle.
- You will be packing the sweet potato hash into the waffle iron pretty thick. Don’t press down on the waffle iron so hard that your pieces end up getting stuck. I may or may not have had to test this process a couple of times, so trust me when I say this!
DESCRIPTION
Break out that ‘ole waffle maker for this amazing Sweet Potato Waffle Breakfast Sandwich. This super Paleo sandwich is Whole30 friendly with only 5 ingredients needed to make it!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large eggs, divided
- 1 small/medium sweet potato, grated
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp oil, plus more for waffle iron and frying pan
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1/2 medium avocado, sliced
- salt & pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat waffle iron and grease well. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk 1 egg (or egg whites). Add in grated sweet potato–should be around a heaping cup–plus seasonings and 1 tsp oil. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Once waffle iron has fully heated, pack in sweet potato hash mixture into iron, covering all of the quadrants. Press waffle iron down gently and allow sweet potato to cook about 4-5 minutes, until lightly golden.
- While the waffle is cooking saute kale in pan with oil on medium heat until slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Fry or scramble egg in same pan (remove kale or keep in, your choice) to personal preference.
- Once sweet potato waffle is ready gently remove with butter knife and transfer to plate. Layer on kale, fried egg, and avocado slices. Finish with salt and pepper if you wish and enjoy!
NOTES
UPDATE MARCH 2017: I’ve had several readers make this with success as written, and some suggesting the water needs to be squeezed out of the sweet potato hash before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
Also please note every waffle iron is different. The waffle iron should be greased fairly well, using high heat oil such as avocado, to prevent from burning.
