This millennial is going to go all Gen Z on you and exclaim “I’m obsesssssed” with purple sweet potatoes.
They’re just so dang beautiful.
And I’m a sucker for some eye candy, especially in the winter when everything and everyone is all beige and sweatered up.
After concocting some savory meals using the pretty potato, I had to switch things up and make it sweet squared.
To satisfy my ever raging sweet tooth, you see.
I turned this vibrant potato into a breakfast bowl situation.
Basically it was another excuse for me to slather nut butter on some substance and call it a meal.
Do you blame me though??
All you have to do to recreate this much needed ray of sunshine is bake up your sweet potato until tender, season with pink sea salt + pumpkin pie spice, then pile on juicy bluebs, nutty almond butter, pure maple syrup, toasted almonds, and hemp hearts, if you’re going full-blown healthy queen.
Load a little bit of everything on a spoon and enjoy!
P.S. Measurements aren’t super important here, just do what looks good to you.
P.P.S. I do consume the skin (there are vitamins in there apparently and this girl hates waste) although you can feed it to the pigs/crows/worms for all I care.
P.P.P.S. I probably don’t even have to say it, but peanut butter would be fantabulous.
Blueberry Almond Purple Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium-large purple sweet potato
- Pink sea salt, to taste
- 3 dashes Pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup thawed frozen blueberries, or fresh (I microwaved frozen berries to make them extra juicy)
- 1 heaping tablespoon natural almond butter (no added oil or sugar)
- Pure maple syrup, to taste
- 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds
- Hemp hearts (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425. Wrap the sweet potato in foil and place directly on the middle oven rack—place a baking sheet or some foil below it to catch potential drips. Bake for 50 minutes or until tender.
- Slice the baked sweet potato lengthwise, exposing more of the cooked flesh, then season with salt and top with pumpkin pie spice, blueberries, almond butter, maple syrup, toasted almonds, and hemp hearts if you wish.
