Ingredients

1 sweet potato, peeled & sliced thinly lengthways
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted + extra as needed
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 heaped tbsp blanched almonds
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
2 cups sliced green beans
1 bunch kale, stems & spines removed, roughly chopped
Handful baby spinach leaves
2 eggs
2 cups cooked brown rice
½ cucumber, spiralised into noodles
1 avocado, peeled & sliced
2 sheets nori, torn, or handful dried nori strips

Method

To make dressing, combine all ingredients in jar, seal tightly and shake until combined.
Preheat oven to 220°C.
Place sweet potato in a roasting pan, drizzle over half coconut oil and bake for 10–15 mins, until cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
Toast almonds in dry frying pan over medium heat and set aside.
Heat remaining coconut oil in frying pan over medium heat and sauté garlic and spring onions for 1–2 mins. Add beans and kale and stir-fry for 3–4 mins, until cooked through. Add spinach and cook for 1–2 mins, until wilted. Move greens to one side of pan and fry eggs to taste, adding a little more oil if needed.
In two wide shallow bowls, arrange brown rice, spiralised cucumber, cooked greens and avocado, then top with almonds, sweet potato, nori and a fried egg. Drizzle dressing over and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using, and pepper.
