Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Soft Scrambled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking, until they are tender and golden brown.
- Whisk Eggs: While the potatoes roast, whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Cook Soft Scrambled Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir continuously with a spatula, scraping the skillet’s bottom to prevent sticking. Cook slowly until the eggs are just set, soft, and fluffy, then remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- Serve: Plate the soft scrambled eggs alongside the roasted sweet potatoes while both are warm. Enjoy your nutritious and comforting breakfast or dinner.
