Sweet Potato & Greens Breakfast Bowls are a savory, nourishing breakfast option featuring roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed greens, and protein-rich toppings like eggs or tofu. They’re filling, flavorful, and perfect for meal prep or a hearty start to the day.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh kale, spinach, or Swiss chard, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs (or tofu for vegan option)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Tahini or hot sauce (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika or chili powder if using.
  3. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  4. While potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the greens and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Cook eggs to your preference—fried, poached, soft-boiled, or scrambled. If using tofu, pan-fry until golden.
  7. Assemble bowls with a base of roasted sweet potatoes, topped with sautéed greens, eggs or tofu, and sliced avocado.
  8. Drizzle with tahini or hot sauce if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Store components separately for meal prep and easy reheating.
  • Use lemon juice on avocado slices to prevent browning.
  • Swap sweet potatoes with regular potatoes if preferred.
  • Greens like arugula or collards also work well.
  • Add grains like quinoa or rice for a more filling meal.
