Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Soft Scrambled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Toss the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat the cubes with flavorful seasoning.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and tenderness.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: While the sweet potatoes roast, whisk the eggs together with milk or cream in a bowl until the mixture is fully combined, aiming for a uniform texture to achieve creamy scrambled eggs.
- Cook Soft Scrambled Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and melt the butter inside. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula to slowly scramble the eggs. Continue until the eggs are softly set and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat just before fully cooked to keep the eggs soft and tender.
- Serve: Plate a portion of roasted sweet potatoes alongside a scoop of the soft scrambled eggs. Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley for a fresh finish.
Notes
- For extra flavor and nutrition, add sautéed greens such as spinach or kale.
