Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Veggies

  • 1 cup baby potatoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Greens & Base

  • 2 cups baby spinach or kale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

For the Eggs

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced baby potatoes, sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the veggies are golden and tender.
  2. Prepare the Base: While the vegetables roast, warm your cooked quinoa or brown rice in a pan or microwave. In a small skillet, lightly sauté the baby spinach or kale over medium heat just until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to your liking, such as sunny-side up or over-easy. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat once cooked to desired doneness.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the warm quinoa or brown rice evenly between serving bowls. Top with the sautéed greens and then the roasted vegetables.
  5. Finish & Serve: Place a fried egg on top of each bowl. Add optional toppings like sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, fresh herbs such as parsley or chives, and a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Serve the breakfast bowls warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute quinoa with brown rice or any whole grain of your choice.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with tofu scramble and omit feta cheese.
  • Adjust spices and seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • Roasted veggies can be prepared in advance and reheated for a quicker breakfast.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the bowl for a bright, fresh flavor.
