Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls Food

SWEET POTATO BREAKFAST BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sweet potatoes on the sheet and roast them for about 45 minutes, or until they're quite soft and a knife easily pierces through the flesh. Remove them from the oven, slice them open, and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
• About 30 minutes into the roasting of the sweet potatoes, start baking the bacon. Once the bacon is cool, roughly chop it, then set it aside.
• To make the sweet potato purée, I find it easiest to cut the ends off the sweet potatoes, then peel the skin off. Place the roasted flesh into a food processor, then add the coconut milk, vanilla, salt, and, if desired, collagen powder. Purée for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth. If it's too thick, add a splash more of the coconut milk and process again. If you don't have a food processor, combine everything in a large bowl and stir it very well with a wooden spoon.
• Divide the sweet potato purée between serving bowls. Top it with the chopped bacon, blueberries, sliced banana, and chopped almonds, and serve.
• The bowls can be assembled ahead of time, but it's best to leave the fruit off until they're ready to eat. They can be eaten cold or gently reheated.

QUINOA, SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN BOWLS WITH YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse very well with cold water; shake gently to drain the excess water. Transfer the quinoa to a medium saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 16 minutes. Keep covered, off the heat, for 5 minutes then uncover and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread on a rimmed baking pan in a single layer. Bake until just tender and browned in spots, about 20 minutes. Add the beans, soy sauce and hot sauce to the pan and stir to mix.
• Spoon the quinoa into bowls and top with the sweet potato-black bean mixture. Top with avocado and pumpkin seeds and drizzle with the dressing.
• Whisk the yogurt, parsley, lime juice and garlic together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
