This frittata is a wonderful way to enjoy a hearty, veggie-packed meal that's both satisfying and nutritious. The combination of sweet potato, kale, and onion creates a beautiful balance of flavors, while the fluffy egg base makes it light and airy.
Perfect for a quick brunch, a light lunch, or even a simple dinner, this recipe comes together in just over 30 minutes. Serve it with fresh orange slices for a bright, citrusy finish that complements the earthy vegetables beautifully.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- Add the egg yolk and gently fold with a rubber spatula until incorporated. Refrigerate while you cook the vegetables.
- In a large, nonstick, oven-safe skillet, combine the sweet potato and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the sweet potato is soft on the outside, about 8 minutes.
- Add the onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped kale and cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and dark green, about 2 minutes more.
- Spread the vegetables evenly over the bottom of the skillet, then pour the egg mixture on top and spread in an even layer.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the frittata is puffed, cooked through, and very lightly browned on top, 5–6 minutes.
- Let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, then flip it onto a cutting board and cut in half.
- Cut the frittata into wedges, then serve with orange slices. Let any leftovers cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
💡 Tips
- For best results, use a nonstick skillet that is oven-safe up to 450°F.
- If you don't have a blood orange, a small navel orange works perfectly.
- Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
