Avocado Breakfast Bowl with Leafy Greens

Bowl: 
  • 1 medium sweet potato, chopped (about 1 3/4 cups) 
  •  nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 cup quinoa 
  • 1 cup water, plus additional for boiling eggs, divided  
  • 2 eggs 
  • 2 cups arugula 
  • 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and chopped 
  • 1/4 cup pickled red onions 


Avocado Tahini Dressing: 
  • 1/2 large avocado 
  • 1/4 cup tahini 
  • 1 lemon, juice only (2 tablespoons) 
  • 3/4 cup water 
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives 
  • salt, to taste 
  • pepper, to taste


Preheat oven to 400°F. Add chopped sweet potato to baking sheet. Spray with cooking oil, then add smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat in spices. Bake 22-25 minutes, or until tender.

In a medium saucepan, add quinoa and water. Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking 12-15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and fluffy.

Fill small saucepan with water and bring to boil. Use a slotted spoon to lower eggs into water. Cook 8 minutes, then transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool before peeling.

To make dressing: In a small blender, puree avocado, tahini, lemon juice, water, and fresh chives until smooth. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to thin until pourable. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble bowls, each with 1/2 sweet potato, 1/2 cup quinoa, 1 egg, 1 cup arugula, 1/2 avocado, 2 tablespoons pickled red onion and 3 tablespoons dressing. Reserve remaining dressing in the refrigerator.
