- 2 medium, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces carrots
- 1 small, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces zucchini
- 1/2 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup, sliced almonds
- 1 tbsp, chopped chives
Instructions

Frequently asked questions
How long does Roasted Vegetable and Egg Breakfast Bowl take to make?
Total time is about 35 minutes (15 min prep + 20 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.
How do I store leftover Roasted Vegetable and Egg Breakfast Bowl?
Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.
Can I substitute ingredients in Roasted Vegetable and Egg Breakfast Bowl?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Roasted Vegetable and Egg Breakfast Bowl for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
