Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or broth
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- Nuts of your choice (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- Dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings (e.g., honey, cinnamon)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Carefully pierce each sweet potato with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until they’re soft.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine it with 2 cups of water or broth. Bring it to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for around 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Then slice them open lengthwise.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork to separate the grains.
- In each bowl, layer the baked sweet potatoes and quinoa. Top with Greek yogurt, then sprinkle with your chosen nuts and dried fruits.
- Season with salt and pepper, and if you like, drizzle with honey or sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
- Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
Notes
Consider using vegetable broth for extra flavor and toppings of fresh fruit or granola.
