Ingredients You’ll Need
SPINACH WITH TOMATOES
Olive oil (2 tsp)
White onion (1/4)
Garlic (1 clove) – use fresh for best results.
Baby spinach (2 cups)
Cherry tomatoes (6) – If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, it’s not a crime to use Roma or any other type of regular tomatoes.
SWEET POTATOES
Olive oil (2 tbsp) – Again, we use olive oil to cook the potatoes as well.
Sweet potato (1, medium) – You could go for regular potatoes too
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Garlic powder (to taste) – You can use fresh as well
Dried oregano (to taste) – Thyme or rosemary will also be tasty here.
THE REST OF THE BOWL
Avocado (1/2, large)
Red bell pepper (1/2) – Fresh tomatoes can work as well
Eggs (2) – Hard-boiled, fried, or poached.
Parmesan (3 tbsp) – Freshly grated parmesan cheese offers the absolute best taste. I cannot stress this enough.
Parsley – Cilantro or dill works too.
How to Make a Savory Breakfast Bowl
Step 1. Heat up your pan to medium-high heat with olive oil and cook your chopped onions for about 3-4 minutes or until translucent.
Step 2. Next, press the garlic into the pan. If it is minced, just add it to the onions. Cook until it becomes fragrant, no more than 30-60 seconds.
Add spinach and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook until spinach is wilted. Transfer the cooked veggies to a bowl.
Step 3. Add more olive oil to the pan. Add thin sweet potato slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with garlic powder and dried oregano, and season with salt and black pepper.
Now, lower the heat to medium-low and allow the potatoes to cook for 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 4. When they become slightly browned and soft, flip them over. Again, sprinkle them with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Cook for another 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the cooked potatoes from the heat, and add them to the bowl with the other veggies.
Step 5. Add the rest of the ingredients. Top with the sliced avocados and peppers. Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half, lengthwise, and place on top, too.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley or your favorite herb. Enjoy!
Step 6. Enjoy the bowl.

You can also add carrots, bok choy, and even celery can give you a tasty crunch.
Also, sliced green onions or extra herbs.
Plus, you can make it entirely plant-based. Just dice up some extra-firm tofu and use it instead of the eggs.
