Ingredients
- 2 cups diced (about 1 large) sweet potatoes
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 cups diced sweet potatoes, 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper, and 1/2 cup diced red onion with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and edges start to caramelize.
- Step 3: Remove the pan from the oven and make four evenly spaced wells in the roasted vegetables. Crack 4 large eggs, one into each well.
- Step 4: Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, or cook longer for firm yolks.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately for a balanced, energizing start to your day.
