Ingredients
- 1 cup diced sweet potato
- 1 egg cracked into a bowl
- 1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/4 avocado diced
- Garnishes: Pickled onion* chopped cilantro, Greek yogurt, lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Spray generously with oil and add the sweet potatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, tossing every 30 seconds or so, until the potatoes are lightly browned. Turn the heat down to medium-low, add a teaspoon of water, and immediately cover the pan. Let the potatoes cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat, re-cover, and let rest.
- Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray generously with oil, then gently add the egg to the pan. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a bowl, along with the tomatoes and avocado. Slide the egg on top, then garnish with pickled onion, cilantro, and yogurt. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Notes
- *To make pickled onions, just slice up some red onion, put it in a glass container with a secure lid, and add enough white vinegar to submerge all of the onion. Give it a good shake. The onions will be tasty after 5 minutes, but they get better after a day or so in the fridge.
- To store your Sweet Potato Bowls leftovers, place the cooked sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and avocado in separate airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Keep the egg and garnishes separate to maintain freshness.
- To reheat, warm the sweet potatoes in the microwave or skillet until hot, then add the egg and fresh garnishes.
