How to Make Pumpkin Frittata

  1. Peel and cube 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup). Boil in salted water until tender, about 7-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. In a large, oven-safe nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped carrots and 2 chopped scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until carrots are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 clove minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  7. Stir in the cooled carrot and sweet potato mixture.
  8. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  9. Add the sweet potato to the skillet and stir to coat.
  10. Pour the egg mixture over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  11. Cook until the bottom is set, about 5 minutes.
  12. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the frittata is set and lightly golden, about 10-15 minutes.
  13. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
