Variations
I sometimes make a sweeter version by skipping the paprika and adding a drizzle of almond butter and a sprinkle of granola. If I want a savory twist, I add sautéed mushrooms or turkey sausage.
For a plant-based option, I replace the eggs with scrambled tofu and use dairy-free yogurt.
Storage/Reheating
I store the roasted sweet potatoes separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To reheat, I warm the sweet potatoes in the microwave or oven until heated through, then add fresh toppings. I prefer cooking the eggs fresh for the best texture.
I do not typically freeze this bowl, but the roasted sweet potatoes can be frozen for up to 1 month.
