Chef's Note

For the fluffiest frittata, don't overmix your eggs - beat just until combined. The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor while keeping this lactose-free. This frittata reheats beautifully, so consider making a larger batch for meal prep.

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • 2

    Dice 1/2 medium sweet potato into small 1/4-inch cubes. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes until slightly tender.

  • 3

    While sweet potato roasts, dice 1/3 cup red bell pepper, 1/3 cup zucchini, and 2 tablespoons red onion. Halve 6 cherry tomatoes and mince 1 garlic clove.

  • 4

    Chop 1 tablespoon fresh basil, 1 tablespoon fresh chives, and measure 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.

  • 5

    Heat an 8-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and sauté onion for 2 minutes until translucent.

  • 6

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 7

    Add diced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

    Stir in 1 cup spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

    Add the roasted sweet potato cubes and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and distribute evenly.

  • 10

    In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup egg whites, 1 large whole egg, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.

  • 11

    Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the fresh herbs over the top.

  • 12

    Cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.

  • 13

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.

  • 14

    While the frittata bakes, slice 1/4 small avocado.

  • 15

    Remove frittata from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Slide onto a plate and serve with avocado slices on the side.
