Tips

Tip 1

For speedier sweet potato prep, skip the peeling step and roast with skin on for extra texture and nutrients.

Tip 2

If broccoli finishes roasting before sweet potato, remove it from the sheet and continue roasting the sweet potato until tender.

Tip 3

Add water one teaspoon at a time to the sriracha mayo to achieve the perfect drizzling consistency without making it too thin.

Good to Know

Storage

Store leftover components separately in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Rice and roasted vegetables keep best when stored apart.

Make Ahead

Rice and roasted vegetables can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Reheat gently and fry eggs fresh when serving.

Serve With

Serve immediately while eggs are warm and vegetables retain their texture. Provide extra lime wedges and sriracha mayo on the side.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Don't overcook the eggs if you want runny yolks to mix with the rice and vegetables.

Watch

Avoid overcrowding vegetables on the baking sheet to ensure proper browning and caramelization.

FAQ

Can I make this vegetarian without the eggs?

Yes, substitute the fried eggs with crispy tofu, edamame, or additional roasted vegetables for protein. The honey miso sauce pairs well with plant-based proteins.

How long will the sriracha mayo keep?

The sriracha mayo will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week in a sealed container. Stir before using as it may separate slightly.

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

Fresh broccoli works best for roasting as frozen tends to release moisture and steam rather than caramelize. If using frozen, thaw and pat completely dry first.
