Ingredients
Scale
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded (about 4 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups baby spinach, chopped
10 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred blend)
Optional: cooked turkey sausage, feta cheese, or diced tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and shredded sweet potatoes. Sauté for 8–10 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook another minute until wilted.
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth.
Spread the cooked veggies evenly in the baking dish. Pour egg mixture on top and gently stir to combine. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until eggs are fully set and top is lightly golden.
Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs or serve with a side salad.
