How to Make a Savory Breakfast Bowl
Slicing and Roasting the Veggies:
First, slice up your veggies. Cube your potatoes, onion, and green pepper. Half your baby mushrooms and keep the cherry tomatoes whole. Toss everything together until coated well.
Place your veggies onto a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and seasonings (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes.
Prepare Tempeh Sausage Crumbles:
Next, heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a pan and crumble the tempeh into it. Allow it to cook for approximately 5 minutes until the tempeh turns golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the marinade for the tempeh by mixing Fennel, basil, oregano, chili flakes, garlic powder, soy sauce, maple syrup, and lemon juice for a flavorful twist. Add the marinade to the pan with the tempeh and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Assembling Your Savory Breakfast Bowl:
Fill a serving bowl with a generous portion of the roasted veggies and tempeh sausage crumbles. Slice the avocado on top of each bowl. Add fresh basil leaves and drizzle your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Substitutions/Variations
- Make it gluten-free: Ensure that the soy sauce you use is gluten-free or substitute it with gluten-free alternatives such as tamari or coconut aminos.
- Make it soy free! You could make this recipe soy-free using seitan instead of tempeh or another soy-free mock meat of your choice. You could also use lentils or chickpeas. Make sure to use soy-free soy sauce.
- Experiment with veggies! This recipe is versatile, and you can add veggies to your liking. Consider substituting with vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts.
- Add a spicy kick: To add a tangy and spicy twist to your Savory Breakfast Bowl, drizzle a spoonful of your favorite hot sauce over the top. This will elevate the flavors and provide an extra zing to your taste buds.
- Experiment with spices: Don’t be afraid to adjust the spice levels in the tempeh sausage crumbles to suit your taste buds. Add more chili flakes for extra heat or increase the basil and oregano for a more herbaceous flavor profile.
- Substitute basil with parsley: You can add fresh parsley if you don’t have basil leaves.
Some Tips from the Steph
Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for organic and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible to ensure the best flavor and nutritional value.
Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days!
Freezer Storage: I do not recommend freezing the breakfast bowl as it may change the flavor and texture of the ingredients.
