Step-by-Step Overview

Making this fantastic green chile bowl flows seamlessly from roasting to scrambling. You’ll begin by roasting your vegetables, which infuses them with rich flavors, while simultaneously preparing fluffy scrambled eggs with aromatic green chiles. Once everything is cooked, assemble your bowl by layering roasted veggies, scrambled eggs, fresh toppings, and a sprinkle of cheese.

What You’ll Need

Gather these items to create your delicious Southwest Spice Green Chile Bowl:

• 1 cup diced russet potatoes
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1 cup canned or roasted green chiles, drained and chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 8 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk or dairy-free alternative
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack (dairy-free cheese for vegan)
• 1/4 cup sour cream or dairy-free alternative
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions to Follow

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the veggies.
3. Spread the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. While the veggies are roasting, whisk the eggs with milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl until frothy.
5. In a nonstick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green chiles and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble until the eggs are just set—light and fluffy!
6. Divide the roasted vegetables among bowls. Top each serving with scrambled eggs, halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving warm.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

This Southwest Spice Green Chile Bowl is a versatile dish that can stand on its own or be complemented with a variety of sides. Consider adding crispy tortilla chips for crunch, a light salad for freshness, or a zesty salsa for added zing. Pair it with a refreshing iced tea or a classic mimosa for brunch gatherings.

How to Store

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, gently warm in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water to keep the eggs moist. If you prefer to freeze, store the components separately (roasted veggies and egg scramble) for up to a month, and reheat thoroughly before enjoying.
