Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Ensure pieces are similar in size for even roasting.
- Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even caramelization. Potatoes should be tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the eggs. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and crack eggs individually, cooking to your preferred style (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled).
- Wash mixed greens and pat dry with paper towels. If desired, lightly sauté greens in the same skillet after cooking eggs for added warmth.
- Divide roasted sweet potato cubes between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with two eggs and a handful of mixed greens.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately while eggs and potatoes are warm.
Tips
- Uniform Cubes for Even Cooking: When cubing your sweet potatoes, aim for uniform 1/2-inch pieces. This ensures they roast evenly and achieve that perfect tender yet crispy texture.
- Experiment with Seasonings: While paprika adds a lovely depth of flavor, feel free to experiment with other spices like cumin or chili powder for a kick. A sprinkle of cinnamon can also enhance the sweetness of the potatoes.
- Egg Cooking Styles: Customize your eggs to match your taste! Whether you prefer them sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled, each style adds a unique touch to the bowl.
- Sauté the Greens: For a warm, flavorful addition, lightly sauté the mixed greens in the same skillet after cooking the eggs. This enhances their flavor and makes them a bit more tender.
- Serving Suggestions: Consider adding toppings like avocado slices, feta cheese, or hot sauce for an extra layer of flavor. These additions can elevate your breakfast bowl to a whole new level!
