Zucchini, Red Pepper, and Sweet Potato Frittata
Frittatas are Italy’s version of an open-faced omelet. They can contain any kind of ingredients and usually pretty healthy (depending on what you put in them). The one thing you can rely on is that they are always easy to make and packed with protein. In this incarnation, we’ve added zucchini, red pepper, sweet potato to the recipe along with fresh basil and a bit of sea salt.
Frittatas are a great way to give a second life to leftover cooked veggies from last night or that half of a cauliflower from yesterday’s lunch.

Containers: 1 Green ½ Red 1 tsp.
Ingredients
2 tsp. olive oil
3 medium zucchini thinly sliced
1 medium medium red bell pepper chopped
½ medium medium onion chopped
1 small cooked sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup chopped fresh basil (reserve a small amount for garnish)
¼ tsp sea salt or Himalayan salt
6 large eggs lightly beaten
Instructions
Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add zucchini, bell pepper, and onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
Add sweet potato, basil, and salt. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring frequently, for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until the moisture has evaporated. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Add eggs. Mix well; cook, without stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is light golden. As it cooks, lift the edges and tilt skillet so uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
Reduce heat to low; continue cooking, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Garnish with reserved basil; serve immediately.
