Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 cup green chili peppers, chopped (choose mild or hot based on your heat preference)

7 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk)

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack recommended)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the frittata.

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a large, oven-safe skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the cubed sweet potatoes. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and beginning to brown slightly.

      Add Onion and Green Chili: Incorporate the diced red onion and chopped green chili peppers into the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and fragrant.

        Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.

          Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped spinach into the sweet potato mixture in the skillet, stirring just until the spinach begins to wilt. Then, pour the egg mixture evenly over the sweet potato and spinach blend. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the entire surface.

            Bake the Frittata: Carefully transfer the skillet to the hot oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The frittata is ready when it is puffed up and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes. Use a spatula to slice it into wedges. If desired, garnish each slice with fresh cilantro or parsley. This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
