Instructions:
Cook the Brown Rice:
Rinse the brown rice under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine rice with water or broth and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside. 🍚
Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika or cumin, if using.
Spread evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and golden brown. 🍠
Prepare the Jammy Eggs:
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a jammy yolk.
While eggs cook, prepare an ice bath in a bowl.
Transfer eggs to the ice bath once cooked. After cooling, peel and set aside. 🥚
Make the Olive Vinaigrette:
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified. Adjust seasoning as needed. 🫒
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide brown rice into serving bowls and add a handful of spinach or mixed greens.
Top with roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and olives.
