How to Make Nourish Bowl with Roasted Sweet Potato & Jammy Egg

Ingredients:

• 1 medium sweet potato, halved
• 1 cup kale, chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil for massaging kale
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 soft-boiled egg
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 cup crispy roasted chickpeas
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: chopped chives or scallions for garnish

Directions:

1. Roast the Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Rub the sweet potato halves with olive oil, sprinkle a little salt on top, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized.

2. Prep the Kale: While the sweet potato is roasting, take the chopped kale and massage it with a pinch of salt and a bit of olive oil for 1-2 minutes. This will make the kale tender and vibrant in color.

3. Boil the Egg: In a pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully add the egg and boil for 7 minutes to achieve a jammy yolk. After boiling, cool the egg under cold water, peel it, and then slice it in half.

4. Assemble the Bowl: Start by placing the massaged kale at the bottom of your bowl. Then, layer in the roasted sweet potato, cooked quinoa, slices of avocado, crispy roasted chickpeas, and the halved egg. Season with salt, pepper, and add chopped chives or scallions if desired.

How to Serve Nourish Bowl with Roasted Sweet Potato & Jammy Egg

How to Store Nourish Bowl with Roasted Sweet Potato & Jammy Egg

If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers. The roasted sweet potato, quinoa, and chickpeas will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it’s best to add the kale, avocado, and the jammy egg fresh when you are ready to eat.
