For those that have a savory tooth in the morning, this might be your next favorite breakfast!  This recipe has been a go-to lately especially when i'm craving something warm and flavorful. The spices I chose for this recipe give the sweet potatoes a little kick without any added salt. And the addition of  bell peppers  & arugula gives the dish so much freshness, texture and nutrition with minimal effort. This is what I call a perfect combined dose of flavor, nutrition, texture, and satisfaction!
