Spiralized Sweet Potato Egg Nests
Description
This recipe starts with spiralizing a washed sweet potato, then cutting the noodles shorter for nest shaping. The noodles are briefly cooked in ghee or avocado oil until they soften, then arranged into individual nests in a pan. An egg is cracked into each nest, and cooking continues until the egg whites firm up but yolks remain as desired. After cooking, the nests are seasoned with salt, pepper, and a variety of garnishes such as fresh herbs, microgreens, scallions or red onions, sesame and hemp seeds, or red pepper flakes, allowing customization to taste. The nests can make a nutritious and colorful start to the day or a light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 tbsp ghee or avocado oil
- 4 egg large
Garnish
- salt
- black pepper
- fresh herbs
- microgreens
- scallion or red onion
- sesame seeds
- hemp seed
- red pepper flakes or other spices
Instructions
- Spiralize the sweet potato. If spiralizing with the skin, make sure that it's thoroughly washed and scrubbed beforehand.
- Use kitchen scissors to cut the sweet potato noodles into smaller lengths, which will help them form into nests.
- Heat the ghee in a large pan on medium heat and add the sweet potato noodles. Use tongs to cook and toss the noodles for a couple of minutes, or until they've started to soften. Then, use your tongs to form them into individual nests with a little well in the middle.
- Crack one egg on top of each sweet potato nest. Then, add a lid and cook the eggs until the whites are cooked and the yolks have reached your desired level of done.
- Top the sweet potato egg nests with garnishes and serve immediately.
Notes
- Depending on your sweet potato size, you may have leftover noodles; save extras for meal prep or another recipe.
- If new to spiralizing, consider reviewing beginner guides or tutorials for best results and safety.
- The recipe uses a Paderno Spiralizer, but other spiralizers will work similarly.
