# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly.
03 - Spread seasoned vegetables evenly on prepared sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
04 - Remove pan from oven. Add orange segments and baby spinach, stirring gently to incorporate.
05 - If using eggs, create 4 small wells among the vegetables and crack one egg into each well.
06 - Return pan to oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and eggs reach desired doneness.
07 - Remove from oven and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh herbs before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything happens on one pan, which means your cleanup game gets to be lazy and virtuous at the same time.
  • That sweet and savory dance between orange and roasted vegetables hits different when it's all warm and caramelized.
  • It's naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and works whether you're feeding yourself or unexpected guests.
02 -
  • If you dice the vegetables too small they'll disappear into mush—keep them chunky enough to actually taste what they are.
  • Add the orange segments in the last cooking stage or they'll dry out and lose their whole point of being there.
03 -
  • Use the largest sheet pan you have so vegetables actually roast instead of steam from overcrowding.
  • Don't skip the halfway stir on the first round—those caramelized edges are where all the flavor lives.
