Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and crispy.
Step 2: Cook the Protein & Eggs
- While the potatoes are roasting, cook your chosen protein (turkey sausage, bacon, or quinoa).
- Scramble or fry the eggs to your preference. (For meal prep, hard-boiled eggs work great!)
- Sauté the spinach or kale in a little olive oil until wilted (about 2 minutes).
Step 3: Assemble the Bowls
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly into 4 containers.
- Add your protein choice and sautéed greens.
- Place one egg in each bowl.
- Add cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and any optional toppings.
Step 4: Store & Serve
- Store in airtight meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds before eating. (Add fresh avocado after reheating!)
Notes
- Make It Vegan: Use scrambled tofu instead of eggs and swap turkey sausage for black beans or quinoa.
- Low-Carb Option: Replace sweet potatoes with roasted cauliflower or sautéed zucchini.
- Spice It Up: Add sriracha, chili flakes, or your favorite hot sauce.
- Meal Prep Tip: Keep avocado separate and add fresh before serving to avoid browning.
