Chestnut Free Paleo Roasted Pepper Plantain Breakfast Bowls
Colorful, smoky, and deeply satisfying, this breakfast bowl brings together caramelized plantains, charred bell peppers, and tender roasted onion in a way that feels indulgent without straying from clean, whole-food eating. The plantains go into a hot oven with smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder, and what comes out is golden, slightly sweet, and absolutely irresistible alongside the lightly charred peppers. A fried egg on top adds richness and protein, while fanned avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime pull the whole bowl together with brightness and creaminess. For anyone navigating tree nut restrictions, this recipe is naturally free of that concern — every ingredient is straightforward, and there's nothing hidden in the spice blend or cooking process to second-guess. Avocado oil does all the heavy lifting in both the roasting and the pan-frying, keeping the flavors clean and the cook process simple. It's the kind of morning meal that looks impressive enough for a weekend brunch spread but comes together with minimal fuss. Fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes are optional, but they add a finishing touch that takes each bowl from great to genuinely memorable.
