Wash and scrub the sweet potato, leaving the skin on.

Slice off both ends of the sweet potato to create a flat surface.

Place the sweet potato on the spiralizer and use the smaller spiral slicing blade to spiralize it.

Use kitchen scissors to cut the long strands of sweet potato into shorter pieces.

Heat a large pan on medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of ghee or avocado oil.

Add the sweet potato noodles to the pan and toss them, cooking for a couple of minutes until they begin to soften.

Chop fresh chives and parsley while the sweet potato is cooking.

Gather the softened sweet potato into small round nests in the pan, creating a well in the middle of each nest.

Crack 2 eggs into the well of each nest.

Cover the pan with a lid to steam the eggs until the whites are fully cooked; cook longer for harder yolks if desired.

Transfer the sweet potato egg nests to a plate and garnish with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
