Hazelnut Free Paleo Roasted Pepper Plantain Breakfast Bowls

Caramelized plantains, charred bell peppers, and a perfectly fried egg come together in a breakfast bowl that feels indulgent but is completely built on whole, clean ingredients. The plantains go into a hot oven with smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder, and they come out golden at the edges with a natural sweetness that plays beautifully against the smoky spice blend. Fanned avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime bring brightness and creaminess to every bite, making this feel like something you'd order at a weekend brunch spot. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, breakfast can be a minefield of granolas, nut butters, and trail-mix-style bowls — this one sidesteps all of that entirely, relying on produce, eggs, and avocado oil from start to finish. There's no cross-contact concern lurking in a complicated sauce or a store-bought spice packet, since the seasoning is built from individual spices you measure yourself. It's also naturally grain-free and dairy-free, so it works for a wide range of eaters at the same table. Finish each bowl with a scatter of fresh cilantro and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little extra heat to wake you up.
