1-First Step: Heat the oven and get your pan ready Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly with olive oil spray. This helps keep the sweet potato from sticking and makes cleanup easier later. While the oven heats, gather your ingredients so everything is ready to go.

2-Second Step: Prep and roast the sweet potato Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes on the sheet pan and coat them with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer so they roast instead of steam. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned at the edges. This is the longest step in the recipe, so it is smart to start here. If you want to save time on a busy morning, pre-cut sweet potatoes are a great shortcut. They roast well and still give you that soft, caramelized texture that makes this bowl so satisfying.

3-Third Step: Whisk and cook the eggs Crack the 2 large eggs into a bowl and whisk them with 1 spoonful of cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. The cottage cheese melts into the eggs as they cook, which gives them a soft, creamy texture without much effort. Spray a nonstick skillet with oil first to prevent sticking, then set it over low to medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook them slowly, using a rubber spatula to gently move them around the pan. Low heat is best if you want soft, tender curds instead of dry eggs. This method is especially helpful for beginners because it keeps the eggs smooth and fluffy.

4-Fourth Step: Wilt the greens In the same pan, add the baby spinach or mixed greens. Stir them gently for a minute or two until they just soften. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor. The greens should stay a little tender and vibrant, not fully wilted into mush. This small step adds freshness and helps balance the richer ingredients in the bowl. The lemon juice also lifts the whole dish and keeps the flavor from feeling too heavy, especially when paired with eggs and avocado.

5-Final Step: Assemble and season Now it is time to build your bowl. Start with the roasted sweet potatoes, then add the eggs, remaining cottage cheese, diced avocado, and greens. Finish with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, hot sauce, everything bagel seasoning, or red pepper flakes. Taste and add a little more kosher salt or black pepper if needed. Serve right away while the eggs are warm and the sweet potatoes are still cozy from the oven. If you want to make this a bigger meal, you can serve it with toast or fresh fruit on the side, but it is also filling enough to stand alone.
