I know there are a few steps to this sweet potato and mushroom frittata but I promise it is worth it! Pre cooking your veggies not only gives them more flavour, but ensures they don’t release liquid while being cooked in the egg mixture, which stops you ending up with a soggy frittata! This keeps well in the fridge though and is delicious both warm and cold, so it’s an excellent meal-prep option.

I love this sweet potato mushroom frittata for both breakfast or lunch – it definitely is versatile! It’s also an excellent way to get a kick start on your vegetable intake for the day if you have this at breakfast. It would also work excellently as part of a big breakfast spread – you can roast the veggies in advance to make it much quicker on the day too!
