Description
Don’t have the time or energy to make a healthy and filling breakfast each morning? Make my Meal Prep Vegetarian Breakfast Bowls on Sunday and all you need is five minutes to pop them in the microwave before heading out the door. These savory breakfast bowls are packed with protein, fiber and any veggie toppings you want to add.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 extra large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 2 cups cooked beans, store-bought or homemade
- 1 1/3 cups cooked rice, or grain of choice
- Cooking spray
- Salt and pepper
- Optional toppings: avocado, pico de gallo, hot sauce, sour cream, salsa, etc…
Roasted Sweet Potato
- 4-5 cups diced sweet potato (about one large sweet potato)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil, or more if needed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F. Wash sweet potatoes well and peel, if desired. Dice sweet potato into small, bite sized pieces and place on a large baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and granulated garlic until sweet potato is fully coated. Place in the oven and bake until sweet potato is fork tender and just starting to brown, about 35-40 minutes.
- Prepare the eggs while the sweet potato is roasting. I like to do two eggs per bowl, so a total of 8 eggs if I’m making four breakfast bowls. I scramble mine over medium heat with some cooking spray, salt and pepper. Once eggs are done, turn the heat off and then sprinkle on the shredded cheese, cover for a few minutes to let melt.
- I didn’t include this in the breakfast bowls that I photographed for this post, but if you want to add extra veggies, I would recommend stirring some spinach or kale into your hot rice, immediately after it has been cooked, so it wilts and mixes in easily.
- Assemble the bowls: to each breakfast bowl, add: 1/3 cup cooked rice, two eggs (1/4 of the scrambled eggs), 1/4 of the roasted sweet potatoes (about 1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup beans.
- These bowls can be enjoyed immediately, or placed into meal prep containers and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I prefer to add my fresh toppings after I have re-heated my breakfast bowl, but you are welcome to add them during assembly, if you like. Once ready to eat, place in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
