High Protein Easy to make
If there’s one dish I absolutely love for its versatility, it’s the frittata. Whether it’s for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, the frittata can be made in so many variations to suit any taste. Today, I’m very excited to share one of my favourite versions: a Sweet Potato Frittata. This variation not only packs a lot of flavour, but it’s also lighter and healthier thanks to the sweet potatoes and a bunch of fresh spinach.
Why This Frittata Works
The combination of sweet potatoes and sausages adds a balance of hearty and sweet flavors, while the spinach provides a fresh, slightly earthy note. Plus, the fact that it’s grilled at the end gives the frittata a beautifully golden top that’s delicious.
This recipe is a perfect example of how you can take basic ingredients and create something special. It’s also easy to customise — swap the sausages for chorizo, add peppers, or even experiment with different cheeses if you like!
So, whether you’re looking for a meal to impress guests or a quick dinner for yourself, this sweet potato frittata is guaranteed to be a winner. Happy cooking!
Here’s how you can make it at home!
Ingredients:
- 6-8 sausages (your choice of flavour)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 50g fresh spinach
- 8 medium eggs
- 1-2 spring onions, chopped for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by peeling and slicing your sweet potatoes, and chopping the onions and spring onions. These simple prep steps will make the cooking process easier and quicker.
Step 2: Cook the Sausages
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Place the sausages in the pan and cook them for around 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to get an even brown. Once they’re cooked through, remove them from the pan and set aside. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly five pieces per sausage.
Step 3: Fry the Sweet Potatoes and Onions
In the same pan, add a little more oil and toss in your sweet potato slices. Fry them over medium heat for about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. After the sweet potatoes have started to soften, add the chopped onions and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Step 4: Wilt the Spinach and Add the Sausages
Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for a minute or two. Return the sausage pieces to the pan, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Prepare the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together your eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausages and vegetables in the pan, making sure everything is evenly coated. Sprinkle half of your chopped spring onions over the top.
Step 6: Grill the Frittata
Preheat your grill to a high setting (around 200°C). Place the frying pan under the grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is golden and puffy. Keep an eye on it, as you want that perfect golden top without overcooking.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Once your frittata is done, carefully remove it from the grill. Slice it into portions, sprinkle the remaining spring onions on top, and serve it hot.
