Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 large sweet potato, diced
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup green bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced
  • 4 large eggs (scrambled, fried, or boiled)
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 cup greens (spinach or arugula)
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • Optional garnish: crumbled feta (or cheese of choice), chopped cilantro

Creamy Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tsp sriracha

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Roast the sweet potatoes
    Preheat oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potato with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast 15–20 minutes (oven) or 5–8 minutes (air fryer), flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
  2. Cook the bacon
    Chop bacon into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, cook until crispy (5–7 minutes). Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave a little bacon fat in the pan.
  3. Sauté the vegetables
    In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Cook 3–5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.
  4. Cook the eggs
    Prepare to your liking:
    • Scrambled: whisk with salt and pepper, cook until fluffy.
    • Fried: cook until whites are set, yolks still runny.
    • Boiled: simmer 8–10 minutes, peel, and slice.
  5. Mix the sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk mayo, lemon juice, and sriracha until creamy.
  6. Assemble the bowls
    Divide greens between two bowls. Add roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed veggies, bacon, and eggs. Top with avocado, feta, cilantro, and a drizzle of creamy sriracha sauce.

Tips & Variations

  • Greens: Swap spinach with kale, arugula, or mixed salad greens.
  • Protein: Try turkey bacon, sausage, or tofu scramble for a vegetarian/vegan option.
  • Cheese: Feta, goat cheese, cheddar, or vegan cheese all work beautifully.
  • Sauce: For a mild version, use plain yogurt + lemon juice + honey.

Serving Ideas

  • Pair with a side of fresh fruit or berries for extra sweetness.
  • Add a slice of sourdough toast or crusty bread for dipping.
  • Serve with a smoothie or fresh juice for a full brunch spread.
