01 - 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
02 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 small red onion, diced
04 - 2 medium oranges, peeled, segmented, and cut into chunks
05 - 2 cups baby spinach leaves

06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Optional Toppings

12 - 4 large eggs
13 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
03 - Spread seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
04 - Remove pan from oven. Add orange segments and baby spinach, stirring gently to combine with roasted vegetables.
05 - If using eggs, create 4 small wells among the vegetables and crack one egg into each well.
06 - Return pan to oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and eggs reach desired doneness.
07 - Remove from oven. Sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh herbs immediately before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One pan means minimal cleanup while you're still half-asleep and reaching for coffee.
  • The orange juice mingles with the spices to create this subtle sweetness that feels almost accidental but tastes completely intentional.
  • It's forgiving enough to customize based on what's hiding in your produce drawer or fridge.
02 -
  • The orange juice will pool at the bottom of the pan—don't drain it, spoon it over everything as you serve because that's liquid gold and pure flavor.
  • If you're cooking eggs, remember that residual heat keeps cooking them after you remove the pan, so pull them out when they still look slightly underdone on top.
03 -
  • Don't peel and prep everything the night before—the cut sweet potatoes will oxidize and turn gray, which doesn't affect the taste but looks sad and makes you question your choices.
  • If your sheet pan is smaller or warped and tends to cook unevenly, rotate it halfway through the first roast so nothing burns before everything is done.
