FAQs About Sheet Pan Baked Eggs and Roasted Veggies

Yes! Baking is a great heart-healthy method because it requires minimal added fat and allows you to cook the eggs alongside nutrient-dense vegetables without the need for heavy frying.

You can roast the peppers, onions, and garlic in advance. When ready to eat, simply add the tomatoes and kale, crack the eggs, and finish the baking step fresh.

Hearty vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and kale work best because they hold their structure during roasting. Tomatoes are also excellent as they create a light sauce.

Alternative Cooking Methods

  • Individual Ramekins: For a dinner party feel, divide the roasted veg mixture into individual ramekins, crack an egg into each, and bake.
  • Stovetop Skillet: You can make this "shakshuka-style" by sautéing the vegetables in a large cast-iron skillet on the stove, then nestling the eggs in and covering the pan until the whites set.

What to Serve With These Heart Healthy Baked Eggs with Roasted Vegetables

  • Fresh Fruit: A side of seasonal berries or sliced melon balances the savory, salty notes of the feta and olives.
  • Whole Grains: Serve with toasted sourdough or whole-wheat pita wedges for dipping into the soft egg yolks.
  • Light Salad: A simple arugula salad with a lemon-tahini dressing provides a bright, peppery contrast to the roasted vegetables.

Serving & Storage Tips

  • To Serve: Pair with a slice of crusty whole-grain bread or over a bed of quinoa to soak up the delicious juices from the roasted tomatoes.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F or in a covered skillet over low heat until the whites are hot. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep the yolks from becoming rubbery.

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap kale for baby spinach or Swiss chard if you prefer a milder flavor or softer texture.

If you don't have feta, try small dollops of goat cheese or a sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella.

Feel free to add sliced mushrooms, zucchini, or asparagus to the roasting pan depending on what is in season.

For extra staying power, toss a half-cup of rinsed chickpeas or black beans in with the peppers during the initial roast.
