A quick, easy, and nutritious nourish bowl perfect for game day, featuring soft-boiled eggs, fresh veggies, quinoa, and a lemon-tahini dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs (preferably organic, room temperature)
  • 4 cups mixed greens (kale, spinach, arugula), washed and dried
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 1 medium roasted sweet potato, peeled, diced into ½-inch cubes, tossed with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Lemon-Tahini Dressing: 2 tbsp tahini, juice of 1 lemon, 1 clove garlic minced, 2 tbsp water, salt and pepper to taste
  • Seasoning: smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, pinch of chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse ½ cup quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cool to room temperature (~20 minutes).
  2. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 4 large eggs into boiling water using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for creamy yolks. Remove eggs and place immediately into an ice bath for 3 minutes. Gently peel eggs.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potato with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp tahini, juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, 2 tbsp water, salt, and pepper. Adjust water for desired consistency.
  5. Divide cooked quinoa evenly into four bowls as the base. Arrange 1 cup mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado around the quinoa in each bowl.
  6. Slice peeled soft-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and place two halves per bowl, yolk side up.
  7. Sprinkle about 2 tbsp crumbled feta and toasted pumpkin seeds over each bowl. Drizzle lemon-tahini dressing generously on top.
  8. Add a pinch of chili flakes and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor and color if desired.

Notes

For dairy-free, omit feta or use vegan cheese. Quinoa can be swapped with brown rice, farro, or bulgur. Toast pumpkin seeds lightly for enhanced nuttiness. Peel eggs under running cold water if difficult. Add chili flakes or sriracha for heat. Prepare components ahead and assemble just before serving to keep freshness.
