- Boil a kettle and fill a saucepan with hot water. Add the sweet potato chunks and bring back to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the asparagus for 2 minutes until softened. Drain and leave to steam.
- Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a large frying-pan.
- Tip the drained vegetables into the hot pan with the shallot, sweetcorn, garlic granules and jalapenos, if using. Toss to coat in the oil and season. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veg is browned and toasty.
- Meanwhile, heat another pan with the remaining oil and fry the eggs. Tip the vegetables into 2 bowls, top with slices of avocado, squeeze some lime over and top each with a fried egg.
