Sweet Potato Baked Eggs with a side of fresh strawberries πŸ“πŸ“

This has been a go-to breakfast/lunch lately πŸ₯‘. It’s 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 don’t 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.
Buon appetito!
