Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into even cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Toppings

  • 2 large eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale, sautéed until wilted
  • 1/4 cup cheese (feta, cheddar, or goat), grated or crumbled
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, or chives), chopped for garnish
  • Optional spicy toppings: sliced jalapeños, sriracha, or chili powder

Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes for uniform cooking. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Prepare Your Toppings: While the sweet potatoes roast, cook eggs according to your preference (fried, scrambled, or poached). Sauté fresh greens such as spinach or kale until wilted. Slice avocado and grate or crumble your choice of cheese. Chop fresh herbs and ready any spicy sauces or toppings.
  3. Assemble the Dish: Once sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a plate. Top with cooked eggs, sautéed greens, avocado slices, cheese, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with olive oil or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm and fresh contrast.

Notes

  • Choose similar-sized cubes to ensure even roasting and consistent texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow air circulation and crispy edges.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to preserve their brightness and aroma.
  • Try pan-frying sweet potato cubes for a crispier exterior if preferred.
  • Season generously with spices to enhance the natural sweetness and flavor profile.
