Sweet Potato Baked Eggs with a side of fresh strawberries ππ
This has been a go-to breakfast/lunch lately . Itβs fairly easy to make with minimal prep time and keeps you full for hours thanks to the fiber and protein! Check out the recipe below!
Sweet potatoes: rich in antioxidants & fiber, high in vitamin A, C, manganese, & anthocyanins.
Pasture-raised eggs: rich in omega-3s & protein, high in vitamin A, E, selenium, and most importantly rich in choline.
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
1 sweet potato (large enough to hold an egg), cut half lengthwise
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 eggs, pasture-raised organic
few slices of onion (optional)
1/2 avocado
1-2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
pinch of turmeric spice
Himalayan salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425*F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I like If You Care brand).
Slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise and brush the flesh with evoo. Bake face down for 30 minutes or until tender.
Once tender, remove the sweet potato from the oven and let it cool enough to handle (or if you donβt have patience, dig right in). Use a spoon to scoop out some flesh from each half of the sweet potato to make room for the egg.
Crack an egg into the hole of the sweet potato. Season with salt, pepper & turmeric, and add the onion. Bake it for 10-15 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.
Remove from oven. Enjoy this with a side of avocado and topped with cilantro!
Notes:
Save the sweet potato flesh!!! Use it as a side dish or throw it in a smoothie.
Serve this on a bed of arugula. Get those greens in!
Use additional spices like garlic, chives, dill, rosemary, or everything bagel seasoning.
