Roast Vegetable Frittata 

Satisfying yet light, frittata is made from eggs and available, in-season veggies. It's great for lunchboxes or a healthy dinner.
10 min prep
80 min cook
4 serves
1.25 serves of veg
  • 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 2 small red onions, peeled and sliced into wedges
  • 2 small zucchinis, halved length-ways and sliced into pieces
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk^
  • ¼ tsp pepper, to season
  • ¼ cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves, finely chopped

 

^To make dairy free, replace milk with a calcium-fortified milk alternative.

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Place the sweet potato, red onion and zucchini into a non-stick baking dish and drizzle over the oil, tossing to coat. Roast for approximately 40 – 45 minutes or until cooked through, turning occasionally. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  3. While the vegetables are cooling, whisk the eggs, milk, pepper, parsley, garlic and chilli in a bowl. Stir through the shredded baby spinach.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the roasted vegetables in the non-stick baking dish and gently mix to evenly distribute the ingredients. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until completely set and lightly golden.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Serving Suggestion: Vegetables can also be swapped for any other vegetables you may have on hand such as carrots, cauliflower or broccoli. Peas, corn kernels or halved cherry tomatoes can also be used, but won’t need roasting. You will need around 600g in total.

Frozen vegetables would also work great in this recipe too. These will need to be heated in boiling water first (not roasted), then drained and cooled slightly before adding to the egg mixture.

If fresh garlic, chilli, parsley, or spinach leaves aren’t available, dried or frozen alternatives can be used. Substitute with 1 tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp chilli powder, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, and 1/3 cup frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed to remove excess liquid).

For a main meal cut the frittata into 4 servings, or into 8 portions for snack size servings.

For a complete meal, serve with a side salad and a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or beef.

Storage: Frittata can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help crack and whisk the eggs, or choose what vegetables to include.
