Savory Oatmeal with Eggs and Sweetpotatoes
If you've never tried savory oatmeal before, you're going to love this fun spin off with oats. This savory oatmeal recipe with eggs and sweetpotatoes is the perfect blend of savory, salty and umami, full of veggies, protein and fiber!
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweetpotato or 4 large carrots, diced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup quick cooking oats*
- ½ cup bone broth/chicken broth
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 strips of bacon, optional
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1/2 medium avocado
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. While oven is pre-heating, dice up your sweetpotato.
- Set diced sweetpotatoes on a baking sheet and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- While the sweetpotatoes are baking, measure your oats, bone broth/chicken broth and water, and place in a small to medium pot over medium high heat. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the oats thicken. I sometimes turn the heat down after 5-7 minutes, and cook a little longer to break the oats down more.
- Add in spinach (if using) and mix until the spinach warms and starts to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a medium skillet, start cooking your bacon, turning as needed. Cook until reaches desired crispness.
- Once oats are done cooking, transfer them (with sauteed spinach) to a serving bowl or bowls. Add the hard boiled eggs, avocado (mashed or sliced), cooked sweetpotatoes and bacon.
- Top with everything but the bagel seasoning, salt and pepper and parmesan cheese, or toppings of choice.
Notes
*While you can use steel cut oats, know that they will take longer to cook.
Omit the bacon if you'd prefer.
Hot sauce is another popular topping!
