Instructions
Creating your Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes for faster cooking.
3. Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
4. Roast: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
5. Cook Quinoa (Optional): If using quinoa, rinse it under cold water. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
6. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom. If using quinoa, add it next.
7. Add Toppings: Layer Greek yogurt or its alternative on top, followed by sliced banana, mixed berries, and chopped nuts.
8. Drizzle: If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
10. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl!
