Rice Free Paleo Roasted Pepper Plantain Breakfast Bowls
Breakfast bowls don't have to rely on grains to feel satisfying and complete, and this one proves it beautifully. Ripe plantains — the kind with yellow skins speckled with black — roast up golden and caramelized alongside smoky bell peppers and red onion, filling your kitchen with an aroma that makes it genuinely hard to wait. A warm spice blend of smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder ties everything together with deep, savory flavor that feels anything but plain. Fried eggs cooked in avocado oil go right on top, and creamy sliced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime, and optional cilantro and red pepper flakes finish each bowl with brightness and a little heat. The whole thing comes together on one baking sheet plus a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your morning. It's naturally free of grains and rice without any substitutions or workarounds — just whole, real ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do.
