Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.

    Wrap sweet potatoes in foil and roast them in the oven over night. In the morning, grab a sweet potato out of the oven and eat it for breakfast.

    This is probably the easiest and most nutritious meal possible.

        Do ovens not have timers where you live? That’s wild.

        In my country, you set the timer (and temperature obv) on your oven for how long whatever you have needs to cook, and once it’s counted down to 0, the oven switches off.

        So you can put sweet potatoes in the oven to cook for an hour and go to bed- and get this right, in the morning you wake up to perfectly cooked and still slightly warm sweet potatoes, and a house that isn’t burnt down.

        Crazy or what right? So futuristic and high tech.

          My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can’t even hear it if you’re in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.

          …piece of shit

              what kind of shitty oven did you have that just plugged into the wall? they commonly use up to 5kW, so much more than any regular outlet will be able to handle

              do ovens Not RUN on GAS wheRE you Live??? THAT’S WILD.

              See, I can be a snarky dipshit too.

              If your suggesting a fucking $10 timer on your electric oven plug, that’s laughable. No wonder you said “overnight” instead of an actual time, it must take you the full 8 hrs to cook a potato with that thing.

          No shit I’ve heard of a timer.

          You’re the one that said “overnight” in your explanation instead of an actual time to use. I meant no issues with my comment to you so I dont understand your issue.

          I didn’t even know this was possible. Looks like my current oven may be able to do it - it has a ticking timer knob - but pretty sure all previous ones didn’t have this feature.

          Other than the use case you have mentioned I can’t see any reason to use it. It would be annoying to have the oven turn off before the food is cooked to perfection, which it rarely is at a prescribed time

          Most oven timers in the U.S. start the oven when the timer runs out, rather than shutting it off.

          Your snarky attitude makes you sound fun to be around. /s

        For those that grew up on hashbrowns or left over potatoes fried the next morning, it’s a staple.

      This is a surprisingly good breakfast. I add a little dab of butter and a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar.
