Kickstart your day with a nutritious sweet potato and quinoa breakfast skillet topped with spiced avocado mash. Quick, healthy, delicious!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and diced
- • cooked quinoa: 1 cup
- • red onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • baby spinach: 2 cups
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • ripe avocados: 2, peeled and pitted
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • red pepper flakes: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
- 2 Add the chopped red onion to the skillet and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
- 3 Stir in the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, cooked quinoa, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the mixture is heated through.
- 4 While the skillet is cooking, prepare the avocado mash. In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice, red pepper flakes, and half of the chopped cilantro until smooth and creamy.
- 5 Once the skillet mixture is ready, remove from heat and top with the spiced avocado mash. Garnish with the remaining cilantro before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Savory Sweet Potato & Quinoa Breakfast Skillet pairs perfectly with a side of whole-grain toast for extra fiber and crunch. For a refreshing beverage, enjoy it with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a herbal tea infusion like chamomile or mint. Garnish with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of feta cheese if desired, to add an extra layer of flavor.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the freshness of the avocado mash, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on its surface before sealing the container. Reheat the skillet mixture in a pan over medium heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
