Ingredients
For the Bowl
- 1 medium sweet potato, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional but amazing)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh spinach or kale
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ avocado, sliced or cubed
- 2 large eggs (fried, poached, or soft boiled)
- Optional: 1 tbsp feta cheese or dairy-free cheese
Optional Add-Ons
- 1 tbsp salsa or hot sauce
- Fresh chopped cilantro
- Sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds or chia seeds for extra fiber
Instructions
1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).Toss diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt.Spread on a lined baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the edges.
2. Sauté the Veggies
- While the potatoes roast, heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet. Sauté red onion for 2–3 minutes, then add spinach and cook until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Eggs
- Cook your eggs however you like — fried with crispy edges, soft-boiled with jammy centers, or poached for that café feel. Totally your call.
- Claire’s Tip: For soft-boiled: boil eggs for exactly 6 ½ minutes, then plunge into ice water.
4. Assemble the Bowl
- Layer the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed spinach, and red onions in a wide shallow bowl. Top with sliced avocado, eggs, and any extras — salsa, cheese, herbs, or a sprinkle of seeds.
