Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Savory Bowl
- 1 whole egg, scrambled
- ½ avocado, diced
- ½ cup cooked sausage
- Optional: cilantro, salsa, hot sauce
Sweet Bowl
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
- 1 Tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup
- ½ cup granola
- ¼ cup fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 1 Tablespoon chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans)
- Optional: chia seeds, shredded coconut, drizzle of nut butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to turn them for uniform tenderness and slight caramelization.
- Assemble the Bowl: Place about ½ cup of the roasted sweet potatoes into a serving bowl and add your choice of toppings according to your preferred variation: savory or sweet. For the savory option, add scrambled egg, diced avocado, sausage, and any optional garnishes such as cilantro, salsa, or hot sauce. For the sweet option, top with Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, granola, fresh berries, chopped nuts, and optional extras like chia seeds, shredded coconut, or a nut butter drizzle.
Notes

- For a vegan or dairy-free version of the sweet bowl, use a plant-based yogurt alternative and maple syrup.
- Make sure to spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and become nicely caramelized.
