Ingredients
- 4 Free Range Eggs
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Avocado
- Salt, to taste
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil, a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
- Step 2: Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 25 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through at 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Step 3: While the sweet potatoes cook, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with oil. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cover the pan.
- Step 4: Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Step 5: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and fresh baby spinach evenly between two bowls. Top each with two sunny-side-up eggs and half an avocado sliced or diced.
- Step 6: Serve immediately. Optionally, add sausage or veggie links on the side for extra protein. Enjoy your wholesome breakfast bowl!
Tips & Variations
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with sautéed tofu or tempeh slices seasoned with turmeric for color.
- You can roast sweet potatoes in a conventional oven at 400°F for about 30 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer.
- Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or smoked paprika to the sweet potatoes for a spicy twist.
- Use baby kale or arugula instead of spinach for a different leafy green flavor.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the sweet potatoes in the air fryer or oven to maintain their texture, and gently warm the spinach and avocado separately. It’s best to cook eggs fresh for this dish to preserve their texture and flavor.

FAQs
Can I cook the sweet potatoes without an air fryer?
Yes, roasting sweet potatoes in a conventional oven at 400°F for 25–30 minutes works well. Just spread them evenly on a baking sheet and flip halfway through cooking.
How do I get the perfect runny egg yolk?
Cook the eggs over medium heat and cover the pan to trap steam, which cooks the whites quickly while keeping the yolks soft. Remove the eggs as soon as the whites are set.
