Stuck in a boring breakfast rut? Take 15 minutes and make this easy Sweet Potato Power Bowl recipe! This winning combination of tender sweet potato, creamy avocado, sweet tomatoes, and perfectly poached egg will keep you full and satisfied until lunch.
Yep, MORE EGGS.
I told you, I’ve become obsessed. I’m all about breakfasts lately.
I just LOVE starting the morning with a wholesome bowl of goodness to get my day going right.
I recognize that the previous sentence reads like a cereal commercial, but I can’t help myself.
I can notice a serious difference in my energy and attitude on days when I have an awesome breakfast instead of a sad energy bar or 40 ounces of coffee.
I’ve mostly been rotating back and forth between poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce (AKA eggs in purgatory AKA shakshuka), and this incredible bowl of sunshine I’ve dubbed the SWEET POTATO POWER BOWL.
I like to make the simplest version of this breakfast with just sweet potato, egg, tomato, and avocado, then dress it up using whatever crazy stuff I have lying around.
Save some time with this great 3-in-1 Avocado peeler, slicer and pitter tool.
Today it was cilantro, lime, Greek yogurt, and pickled red onion.
Sometimes I add fried plantains, Peruvian aji amarillo sauce, or just a ton of Tabasco.
I have a terrible habit of adding way too much hot sauce to stuff and then pretending like I’m never going to make that mistake again. It’s like a fun game, except it’s not fun.

Anyway, just make this sweet potato bowl with egg for breakfast and try to go easy on the hot sauce.

This is amazing! Made it for lunch today. I’ll definitely be making it again soon.
Lately it seems sweet potato recipes find me. No complaint here, as I have plenty at home and this bowl looks divine, would be happy to eat one for breakfast, and that beautifully runny egg, yum!
Totally, sweet potatoes are absolutely STALKING me lately.
