Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- 1/3 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1 cup greens (spinach or arugula)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
Protein
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
Others
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil or preferred cooking oil (for tossing sweet potatoes and sautéing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes such as fresh herbs or hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to the same temperature to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet if using the oven, or place in the air fryer basket. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or air fry for 5-8 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, shaking or stirring occasionally for even cooking.
- Cook Bacon and Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside on paper towels. In the rendered bacon fat, sauté the chopped red onion and bell peppers until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare Eggs: Cook the eggs to your preference—scrambled, fried, or boiled works well for this bowl.
- Assemble the Bowl: Start by layering the fresh greens in your bowl, then add the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed peppers and onions, crispy bacon pieces, and your cooked eggs on top.
- Add Avocado and Garnishes: Finish by topping the bowl with sliced avocado and any additional garnishes you like, such as fresh herbs, a sprinkle of black pepper, or a dash of hot sauce. Serve immediately for a warm and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can customize the bowl by substituting greens with kale or lettuce depending on your preference.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add extra eggs or legumes.
- If you prefer less oil, you can roast sweet potatoes with cooking spray instead of tossing with oil.
- Leftover sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
- To save time, boil the eggs ahead of time and keep them chilled until ready to use.
