Start your morning with a big hearty bowl of healthy veggies with this Paleo breakfast bowl for one!
You still deserve to have a fun and healthy breakfast, even if you’re just cooking for yourself. This single serving Buddha bowl is filled with healthy veggies like sweet potatoes, spinach, and tomatoes for a plant-based start to your morning.
This Paleo and vegetarian Buddha bowl is also easily customizable to fit whatever diet you’re following. If you’re nightshade sensitive, omit the tomatoes. If you’re vegan, skip the fried egg. You can also add in other colorful veggies like shredded carrots, purple cabbage, or cauliflower rice to keep things interesting.
To make your breakfast Buddha bowl, start by roasting cubed sweet potatoes tossed in olive oil and black pepper. While the sweet potatoes cook, gather and prep the rest of your ingredients.
When you’re about five minutes out, fry up an egg in olive oil to top your Buddha bowl. You can also scramble or poach your egg if you prefer.
Arrange all your veggies in a serving bowl and top with an egg—if you’re using one—and sliced avocado. Dig in and enjoy!
Tips:
- You can garnish with some sliced almonds, sesames seeds, or pumpkin seeds for crunch.
- Short on time? Prep the sweet potatoes a day in advance, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Double the recipe if you’re feeding two!
