Spinach & Sweet Potato Frittata
This frittata is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and hearty all in one bite! The caramelized onions and sweet potatoes? Absolute magic together. And the coconut milk? It makes everything fluffy without adding a coconut flavor.
Equipment
- 1 oven-safe skillet
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium to large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium sweet potato, shredded
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 5 oz container of baby spinach, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, finely diced
- 1 1/4 cup meat of choice, pre-cooked, diced or chopped
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, full fat (do not use light)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in a preheated oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat on the stovetop.
- Add finely sliced onions and cook until caramelized to a beautiful golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, prep the remaining ingredients: diced garlic, shredded sweet potato, chopped spinach, and pre-cooked chopped/diced meat. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine eggs and coconut milk and mix with a hand mixer until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the shredded sweet potato, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the onions. Cover and stir occasionally while cooking.
- Once the sweet potatoes are slightly tender, add the garlic and spinach, cover, and continue stirring occasionally as they cook down.
- Once the spinach has wilted, add the meat (or skip this step for a vegetarian version). Stir to combine.
- Turn off the stove. Pour the egg and coconut milk mixture into the skillet, stirring well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top (skip this step if dairy-free).
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is fully set.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, follow all the stovetop steps, then transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish before adding the cheese. Once transferred, sprinkle the cheese on top, bake, and enjoy!
