Ingredients
Bowl Base:
2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
1 medium sweet potato, sliced into wedges or half moons
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 eggs
Seasoning & Oil:
1.5 tbsp olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp paprika (optional for sweet potatoes)
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tsp everything bagel seasoning (or sesame seeds + garlic flakes)
Instructions
1. Roast the sweet potatoes
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Toss sweet potato slices with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, salt & pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until crisp-tender.
2. Grill the zucchini
Brush zucchini slices with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Grill on a grill pan or regular pan over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until tender and charred.
3. Boil the eggs
Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
For jammy eggs: boil for 6.5–7 minutes.
Transfer to ice water immediately, peel after 5 minutes, and halve.
4. Assemble the bowl
In each bowl, layer a bed of greens.
Arrange grilled zucchini, roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and halved eggs.
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the eggs and veggies.
Notes
You can substitute eggs with chickpeas or tofu for a vegan version.
Great for meal prep: store components separately and reheat as needed.
Try adding avocado or hummus for extra richness.
Tips
Don’t skip the ice bath for the eggs — it stops the cooking and makes peeling easy.
Use an air fryer for crispier sweet potato wedges.
Add a drizzle of tahini or lemon-garlic yogurt sauce for extra flavor.
