Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potato and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lightly coat the slices with olive oil, then place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and tender.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the avocado yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Mix in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water. Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Gently slide the eggs one at a time into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for approximately 3-4 minutes, until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain.
In a small skillet, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the baby spinach until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
To assemble, place two roasted sweet potato slices on each plate as the base. Add a layer of sautéed spinach on top of the sweet potato rounds. Carefully place a poached egg on top of the spinach layer, then drizzle with the avocado yogurt sauce.
Optionally, sprinkle with additional parsley and a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Serve immediately and enjoy your guilt-free Eggs Benefit!
