Harvest Breakfast Bowls

The perfect use for dinner leftovers, these harvest breakfast bowls are the best way to use up your roasted veggies to make a hearty morning meal.

If there is one thing that frustrates me more than anything when it comes to nutrition, it is the concept that are specific foods are meant for specific meals. The idea that “breakfast foods” should only be eaten at breakfast, “lunch foods” should only be eaten at lunch, and “dinner foods” only eaten at dinner is so weird when you think about it. The reality is that there actually are no “breakfast foods”, “lunch foods” or “dinner foods”, there is only food, and everything else we add to it is just a label, which is exactly why I want to share these harvest breakfast bowls.

I didn’t always think this way. The thought of including vegetables as breakfast would send the old me running for the hills; breakfast was meant for cereal, toast, granola, or something sweet that actually made breakfast closer to dessert. I still remember watching a friend eat chicken for breakfast and thinking that he must have lost his mind because it seemed so strange. It probably took me years to realize that food is just food, and you can actually eat it whenever you want. The truth is, the only reason we associate certain foods with certain meals is that we are fortunate to have the option to, and good marketing has led us to believe this is true. It’s not often you see a commercial for breakfast chicken or dinner eggs, but guess what, they both work just as well. In many cultures, breakfast is simply another meal and an ideal place to use up any extra leftovers from the night before.

I made these harvest breakfast bowls with parsnips, butternut squash, and Brussels sprouts, but you can truly use any fall vegetable you like or leftover dinner veggies. Just warm them up, put an egg on top, and breakfast is served!
