Sweet potato and Zucchini Frittata

Here’s a delicious new quick mid-week dinner for you. It is a lovely sweet potato and zucchini frittata.

I love frittata dishes for busy nights. I also love that they can be made ahead if that is how you like to roll, as they reheat nicely. They are also very versatile and, therefore, a great way to use the fresh ingredients that you might have in your fridge. You can swap the sweet potato for regular potato, as was my original recipe. I find using sweet potato or even pumpkin far tastier, though & it feels a little healthier too. You could use parboiled cauliflower or broccolini. You could also whack in some tomato slices. You could use caramelised onions instead of pan-frying an onion, bringing a lovely sweetness to the finished dish.

Hopefully, you have some fresh herbs growing in your garden. Feel free to substitute the thyme for fresh parsley if this is what you have.

The moral of the story is, you can make it your own. Choose your own adventure. Use my recipe as a lovely solid base and work from there.

A recipe like this one can be a gift when it comes to busy nights and weeks. I hope you enjoy it very much.
