Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Step 3: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
  4. Step 4: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
  5. Step 5: Combine the roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed kale in an oven-safe skillet. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the frittata is cooked through.
  8. Step 8: Allow the frittata to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the egg mixture before baking.
  • Swap kale for spinach or Swiss chard if preferred, adjusting the sauté time as needed.
  • To make it vegetarian-friendly but dairy-free, replace feta with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or omit it altogether.
  • Use a cast-iron or oven-safe non-stick skillet for even cooking and easy cleanup.

Storage

Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or warm in a low oven until heated through. This dish can also be frozen; wrap portions tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I prepare this frittata ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the roasted sweet potatoes and sauté the kale in advance, then assemble and bake the frittata when ready. The fully cooked frittata also reheats well the next day.

Can I use other cheeses instead of feta?

Absolutely! Goat cheese, ricotta, or shredded mozzarella are great alternatives that pair well with the sweet potatoes and kale. Choose a cheese that melts easily for a creamier texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Seasonings and Others

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even roasting and proper cooking of the frittata.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes: Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe skillet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Sauté the kale: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until wilted and tender. Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, garlic powder, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine ingredients in skillet: In an oven-safe skillet, mix the roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed kale evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables to cover them completely.
  6. Add the feta cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the egg and vegetable mixture.
  7. Bake the frittata: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden. To check doneness, a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. This resting time allows the frittata to set further, making it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute kale with spinach or Swiss chard if desired.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace milk with almond milk and omit feta cheese or use a vegan alternative.

  • Leftover frittata can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance the flavor profile.
