# How To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing 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 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 desired, 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 and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything roasts on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor as things get slightly crispy and sweet.
  • The orange juice mingles with the paprika and cumin in a way that tastes way more interesting than the sum of its parts.
  • It works for meal prep, feeding a crowd, or just yourself on a Tuesday morning when you want something that actually feels special.
02 -
  • Don't skip stirring halfway through the first roast, or you'll end up with sweet potatoes that are soft on one side and raw on the other.
  • Add the orange near the end—I learned this the hard way when I threw it in at the beginning and ended up with brown, bitter citrus instead of bright bursts of flavor.
03 -
  • Cut your sweet potatoes smaller than you think you need to—they take longer to roast than peppers and onions, so size matters for even cooking.
  • Don't use your best olive oil if you're not comfortable with it smoking slightly at high heat; save that for drizzling at the end instead.
