Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting and greasing
  • 8 large eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese optional, for extra flavor and moisture
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet or ovenproof frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced sweet potatoes with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until golden and slightly crispy around the edges.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the chopped sage, shredded cheese if using, a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and slightly cooled, add them to the bowl with the eggs and gently fold to combine everything evenly.
  4. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat until shimmering and fragrant. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and turn golden.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and just set in the center, with a slightly crispy top.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve warm, displaying a fluffy interior with crispy edges and colorful sweet potato slices.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle more fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce before serving.
