Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato:
   • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Wilt the Spinach:
   • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Pour the eggs over the sautéed vegetables and sweet potatoes in the skillet, ensuring an even spread.
5. Cook the Frittata:
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10 minutes until the frittata is mostly set. Optionally, sprinkle feta cheese on top.
6. Finish in the Oven or Broiler:
   • Preheat your broiler to high. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3–5 minutes, until the top is golden and fully cooked. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Garnish with parsley or chives, if desired.
