Lactose Free Paleo Roasted Pepper Plantain Breakfast Bowls
Bright, caramelized plantains meet smoky roasted peppers and silky fried eggs in a breakfast bowl that feels genuinely special without requiring much effort. The plantains go into a hot oven with smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder, and by the time they come out golden and charred at the edges, the whole kitchen smells incredible. Creamy avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime round everything out, adding richness and a little brightness that ties the whole bowl together. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, subbing, or label-reading required — it just works as written. This is the kind of morning meal that makes you feel like you actually have your life together, even on a weekday. Serve it with a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat, or keep it mellow — either way, it's a seriously satisfying start to the day.
