Description
A delicious and nutritious sweet potato and egg bowl perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup cottage cheese
- 1 small sweet potato, diced (or half a medium SP, ~¾ cup cooked)
- ½ small avocado, diced (or ¼ of a medium or large avocado)
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for roasting the sweet potatoes)
- 1 squeeze fresh lemon (to taste for the greens)
- salsa or hot sauce (optional, to taste for the eggs)
- Everything Bagel seasoning (optional, to taste)
- red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
- kosher salt & black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- The first step is to roast your potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425℉ (218°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with olive oil spray.
- Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. On a cutting board, use a sharp knife to cut them into 1 inch cubes. In a large bowl or directly on the baking sheet, coat the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, kosher salt & pepper.
- Add to the baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Oven times will vary.
- While the potatoes roast, add the eggs, a spoonful of cottage cheese, salt & pepper to a bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or large non-stick frying pan over low to medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or a bit of butter to the skillet and heat.
- Add the whisked eggs to the center of the pan and scramble them by pushing them from the edges of the pan to the center with a spatula until they’re almost done. Remove from heat to let them finish cooking.
- In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed and saute the baby spinach or mixed greens until they are just cooked. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Assemble your bowl by adding the eggs, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, diced avocado, and greens.
- I like to top the avocado & cottage cheese with Everything Bagel seasoning, the eggs with salsa, and the whole bowl with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
Notes
- This bowl is versatile; you can customize it with different greens or toppings based on your preference.
- Feel free to add protein, like chicken or tofu, for a more filling dish.
