Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet, crumble, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the coconut oil. Once melted, add the diced sweet potato and sauté for about 7-10 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Spread the cooked vegetables evenly on the bottom of the dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, making sure everything is covered and even.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
