Ingredients

4 free range eggs
2 sweet potatoes
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 avocado
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
Step 2: Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer. Cook at 375 ℉ for 25 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through at 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: While the sweet potatoes cook, heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, then cover the pan.
Step 4: Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, creating perfect sunny-side-up eggs.
Step 5: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and fresh baby spinach evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with two eggs and half an avocado sliced or diced.
Step 6: Serve immediately. For added protein, consider pairing with sausage or veggie links. Enjoy your nutritious breakfast bowl!

Tips & Variations

Substitute the air fryer with an oven by roasting sweet potatoes at 400 ℉ for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Add a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese for extra creaminess and flavor.
Swap baby spinach with kale or arugula for a different leafy green option.
For a vegan version, replace eggs with sautéed tofu or chickpeas.

Storage

Store leftover sweet potatoes and cooked spinach in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to cook fresh eggs or tofu for each serving. Reheat sweet potatoes gently in the microwave or oven before assembling your bowl.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe without an air fryer?

Yes, you can roast the sweet potatoes in a conventional oven at 400 ℉ for about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway to ensure even cooking.

How can I keep the egg yolks runny without overcooking the whites?

Cooking eggs covered over medium heat helps set the whites evenly while keeping yolks runny. Keep an eye on the eggs and remove them once whites are firm but yolks are still soft.
