Ingredients
  

  • For the Crispy Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes cubed - the hearty, fiber-rich foundation of this bowl
  • ½ red onion diced - adds sweetness and caramelized depth when roasted
  • 1 red bell pepper diced - bright color, mild sweetness, vitamin C boost
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil - high smoke point makes it perfect for high-heat roasting
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - this one does a lot of heavy lifting flavor-wise
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • For the Just Egg Scramble
  • Oil spray - for the skillet
  • 16 oz Just Egg - the 12 oz carton also works; it just changes the portion size slightly
  • Pepper to taste
  • For Assembling the Bowls
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed - protein powerhouse, zero cooking required
  • 2 avocados sliced - creamy, rich, and full of healthy monounsaturated fats
  • Green onions diced - for topping
  • Optional But Highly Recommended Toppings
  • Jalapeño slices
  • Vegan feta
  • Everything seasoning
  • Salsa verde
  • IMO the salsa verde topping is non-negotiable. It ties the whole bowl together with a bright, tangy punch that makes every bite better.

Equipment

  • No complicated setup required here - just two pieces of standard kitchen equipment:
  • Sheet pan - for roasting the sweet potatoes; line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup
  • Non-stick skillet - for scrambling the Just Egg; medium-sized works perfectly
  • Oven preheated to 425°F - the high heat is what gets those sweet potatoes genuinely crispy rather than just soft
  • Mixing spoon or spatula - for tossing the potatoes and scrambling the egg
  • 4 serving bowls - for assembling and presenting the final dish
  • That's genuinely it. Sheet pan, skillet, bowls. Weekday breakfast energy with weekend-level results.
  • Servings & Who This Recipe Is For
  • This recipe makes 4 full servings, which makes it ideal for:
  • Family breakfast or brunch - feeds four people without doubling any effort
  • Weekly meal prep - roast a double batch of sweet potatoes on Sunday and use them all week
  • Post-workout breakfast - 22 grams of protein and 530 calories makes this a legitimate recovery meal
  • Hungry adults who need real fuel - not a dainty smoothie situation; this bowl actually keeps you full
  • Cooking for fewer people? Halve the sweet potato ingredients and use the 12 oz Just Egg carton instead of the 16 oz. Everything scales down cleanly without any weird math.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Preheat the Oven & Prep the Sweet Potatoes (5 Minutes)
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line your sheet pan with parchment paper. Add the cubed sweet potatoes, diced red onion, and diced bell pepper directly to the pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and sprinkle all the spices garlic powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss everything together until every piece gets coated, then spread it into an even single layer.
  3. Why 425°F? Because lower temperatures steam the potatoes instead of roasting them, and you end up with soft, pale cubes instead of crispy, caramelized ones. High heat is the whole game here. Don't drop the temperature.
  4. Step 2- Roast the Sweet Potatoes (30 Minutes)
  5. Slide the sheet pan into the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Pull it out, give everything a good toss with a spatula to flip the pieces, and return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes until the potatoes are golden, crispy at the edges, and cooked all the way through. The smell at this point is genuinely incredible smoky paprika and caramelized onion is a combination that makes the whole kitchen smell like a restaurant.
  6. A perfectly roasted sweet potato cube has a slightly crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. If yours are coming out mushy, they're overcrowded on the pan give them more space next time so the heat circulates properly.
  7. Step 3- Scramble the Just Egg (5 Minutes)
  8. About 5 minutes before the potatoes finish, spray your non-stick skillet with oil and set it over medium heat. Pour in the full 16 oz of Just Egg and add pepper to taste. Scramble gently, folding the mixture as it sets, until it's fully cooked through. Just Egg scrambles a little faster than traditional eggs, so don't walk away from the skillet medium heat and gentle stirring gives you soft, fluffy curds rather than rubbery chunks.
  9. Step 4- Warm the Black Beans (Optional)
  10. The recipe works perfectly with room-temperature or cold black beans straight from the can just drain and rinse them thoroughly. If you prefer them warm, add them to a small saucepan on low heat while the potatoes finish their final 10 minutes. A pinch of salt and cumin stirred in makes them taste like you actually tried, even though it took 90 seconds.
  11. Step 5- Assemble the Bowls
  12. Now comes the satisfying part. Divide everything evenly across 4 serving bowls:
  13. Start with the crispy roasted sweet potatoes as the base
  14. Add the Just Egg scramble alongside the potatoes
  15. Spoon in the black beans
  16. Fan out the sliced avocado on top
  17. Scatter diced green onions over everything
  18. Add any optional toppings: jalapeño slices, vegan feta, everything seasoning, salsa verde
  19. Serve immediately while the potatoes are still hot and the avocado is fresh. This bowl doesn't wait well eat it right away for the best experience.
