Why You'll Love This Recipe
About the Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400 g), diced
Sweet potatoes add natural sweetness and fiber; you can swap for butternut squash if preferred.
2 Tbsp olive oil
Olive oil helps the potatoes crisp; avocado oil works at higher heat.
½ tsp sea salt
Season early to draw out moisture; kosher salt is a fine alternative.
¼ tsp black pepper
Freshly ground gives a subtle bite; white pepper works for a milder flavor.
1 ripe avocado, sliced
Avocado adds creaminess; use a firm Hass for easy slicing, or substitute with guacamole.
4 large eggs
Eggs provide protein; you can replace with tofu scramble for a vegan version.
2 cups (60 g) fresh spinach
Spinach wilts quickly; kale can stand in for a heartier bite.
½ cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
Tomatoes add acidity; you could use roasted red peppers instead.
¼ cup (30 g) crumbled feta cheese
Feta gives salty tang; omit for dairy‑free or swap with goat cheese.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Roast sweet potatoes
Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425 °F (220 °C) for 20 minutes, until golden and tender.
2. Sauté spinach
Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach, season lightly, and stir until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
3. Cook eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, lower to a simmer, and add eggs. Cook 6 minutes for soft‑boiled, then plunge into ice water before peeling.
4. Warm tomatoes
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet for the last minute of spinach cooking, just to warm through.
5. Slice avocado
While the potatoes roast, slice the avocado and drizzle with a few drops of lemon juice.
6. Assemble bowl
Divide roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed spinach, warm tomatoes, and sliced avocado among six bowls. Halve each egg and place on top.
7. Season & serve
Scatter crumbled feta, add an extra pinch of salt and pepper, and serve immediately while everything is warm.
How to Store Breakfast Bowl
Refrigerator
Store roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed spinach, and sliced avocado in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh before eating.
Freezer
Cool roasted sweet potatoes completely, then freeze in a zip‑lock bag for up to 2 months. Other components don’t freeze well.
Reheating
Microwave sweet potatoes 1‑2 minutes, then reheat spinach briefly. Add fresh avocado after reheating.
Tips & Tricks
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes so they roast evenly.
- Cook eggs to your preferred doneness; a soft‑boiled egg keeps the yolk runny for extra sauce.
- Pat the avocado with lemon juice to slow browning while you finish the bowl.
