Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sweet Potato , peeled and diced into 2cm x 2cm pieces (approx 1 small Sweet Potato)
  • 2 cups Pumpkin peeled and diced into 2cm x 2cm pieces (approx 1/4 small Pumpkin)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl whisk eggs lightly with almond milk, salt and pepper. 
  • Remove cooked vegetables from oven. 
  • In a greased or lined quiche or pie dish spread vegetables out evenly. Sprinkle over baby spinach and parsley. Pour over egg mixture ensuring that all vegetables are covered. Add extra eggs to cover vegetables if needed.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
  • Serve with a side of fresh salad greens or cooked greens such as spinach, kale, silverbeet, broccoli or green beans.
  • Serve with a dollop of Dairy Free Basil Pesto.
Make It Personal:
  • Add your favourite fresh or dried herbs and spices to the mixture.
  • Add a sprinkle of curry powder to your egg mixture.
  • Add 1 - 2 spring onions chopped to egg mixture.
Recipe Tips:
  • Adding almond milk to the eggs helps to create a mixture that is light ad fluffy and helps the eggs to go further. If you prefer, you can omit almond milk and just use whole eggs or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites.
  • For a quicker frittata, steam your pumpkin and sweet potato instead of roasting and use raw capsicum.
Sensitive to Nuts?
  • Omit almond milk or substitute for Coconut Drinking Milk or Coconut Milk + water (1:1 ratio).
To make this recipe low FODMAP:
  • Stick to 1/2 cup sweet potato per serve. 
  • Use Jap pumpkin and not butternut pumpkin.
