Notes
Tip: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables or herbs to make this frittata your own!
For a fluffier frittata, whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding them to the pan. If you’re short on time, precook the sweet potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge. You can also substitute the sweet potatoes with butternut squash or zucchini for a different flavor profile.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat. This frittata can also be enjoyed cold, making it a fantastic option for meal prep!
