A frittata is an Italian dish similar to an omelet, but instead of folding the egg mixture around a filling, the filling is mixed in with the eggs, cooked briefly on the stove and then finished under the broiler.
My goal for the new year is to eat more fruits and vegetables. I love fruit, but it’s always difficult for me to get excited about eating veggies early in the day. So this frittata is a great, easy way to start the day with healthy protein and sneak in some veggies in the morning.
I used great-tasting eggs and filled the frittata with roasted sweet potato and parsnips. Roasting vegetables helps to concentrate and caramelize the natural sugars in vegetables. A healthy, delicious breakfast that’s going to keep you going strong all morning long.

Roasted Vegetable Frittata
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced sweet potatoes peeled ¼-inch thick slices
- 1 cup sliced parsnips peeled ¼-inch thick slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon pepper divided
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons fresh basil or 1 teaspoon of dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425º.
- In a plastic bag combine chopped vegetables, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Shake well to thoroughly coat the vegetables with oil. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Bake until tender and browned, 10-15 minutes.*
- In a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables and stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, basil, and remaining salt and pepper until well blended. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
- Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the egg mixture is almost set, but the top is still runny, about 5 minutes.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and broil until the top is puffy and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Cut into wedges and serve.

Has anyone tried baking this in the oven and not using the stove top? I’d like to turn it into one of those overnight casseroles if possible, so I can serve it to a crowd.

A nice hearty healthy choice for winter. Being Italian, I’ve made frittatas in my sleep, but never with sweet potatoes. I like it.

Beautiful! I love that this is finished in the oven. I had no idea that’s how they were made, at least partially. 🙂

Beautiful! My husband is a BIG breakfast eater (as in eggs, sausage, gravy, etc) but I need something a little lighter calorie-wise…yet substantial enough to fill me up. This recipe might satisfy us both. =)
