  • Olive oil: 3–4 tablespoons
  • Spices: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional), 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • Salt and pepper: To taste
  • Eggs: 2 per serving (fried, jammy, poached, or soft-boiled—your choice)
  • Cooked base (optional but recommended): 1–2 cups cooked quinoa, brown rice, or farro
  • Fresh add-ins: 1 avocado (sliced), a handful of baby spinach or arugula, fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives)
  • Crunch: Toasted pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, or crushed pistachios
  • Sauce Option 1 (Lemon Yogurt): 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 small garlic clove (grated), salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Prep the veggies: Cut everything into bite-size pieces so they roast evenly. Keep tomatoes whole.
  3. Season well: Add veggies to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread into a single layer.
  4. Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway. You’re looking for caramelized edges and tender centers. Add tomatoes during the last 10 minutes so they blister, not burst completely.
  5. Make the sauce: Stir together either the lemon yogurt or the tahini sauce. Adjust salt, then thin to drizzle consistency. Set aside.
  6. Cook your base (if using): Warm leftover grains or cook fresh while the veggies roast. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
  7. Cook the eggs: Fry, poach, or soft-boil. For jammy eggs, boil 6.5–7 minutes, then chill in cold water and peel. For a fried egg, cook in a little oil until edges are crispy and yolk is still runny.
  8. Assemble: Add grains to bowls, top with roasted veggies, then the eggs. Add avocado, greens, fresh herbs, and crunchy seeds. Drizzle with sauce. Finish with feta or hot sauce if you like.
  9. Taste and tweak: Add a pinch of salt, extra lemon, or more sauce to balance the bowl to your taste.
