Vegetables and Toppings
- 1 cup diced russet potatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 cup canned or roasted green chiles, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Spices and Seasonings
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (for seasoning vegetables)
Dairy and Oils
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack (or dairy-free alternative for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or dairy-free alternative
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even roasting of the vegetables.
- Roast Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, toss diced potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and ground black pepper until everything is well coated. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are golden brown and tender.
- Prepare Eggs: While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook Green Chiles and Eggs: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped green chiles and sauté for about 2 minutes to warm them through. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently, cooking just until the eggs are set but still moist. Remove from heat promptly to avoid overcooking.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted vegetables evenly among four bowls. Top each with scrambled eggs, cherry tomato halves, avocado slices, shredded cheese, and a spoonful of sour cream. Garnish each bowl with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm. For an extra touch, offer warm tortillas or tortilla chips on the side to scoop up this flavorful bowl.
Notes
- Use dairy-free milk, cheese, and sour cream alternatives to make this recipe vegan.
- Adjust the chili powder and smoked paprika amounts to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Roasting the vegetables until golden and tender brings out their natural sweetness and adds great texture to the bowl.
- You can substitute russet potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
