Honey Free Paleo Roasted Pepper Plantain Breakfast Bowls
Breakfast bowls don't get much more satisfying than this — sweet caramelized plantains, smoky roasted peppers, and tender red onion all piled into a bowl and crowned with a perfectly fried egg. The plantains go into a hot 425°F oven with smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder, and they come out golden at the edges with that irresistible sticky-sweet char that makes them impossible to stop eating. Creamy avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime cut right through the richness, keeping every bite bright and balanced. Because every ingredient here is a whole food — produce, eggs, and avocado oil — there's nothing to second-guess on the label, and no sweeteners of any kind sneak into the mix. It's the kind of morning meal that feels indulgent but is actually built entirely from clean, real ingredients. Whether you go sunny-side up or flip those eggs over-easy, the runny yolk acts like a sauce that ties the whole bowl together beautifully.
