Ingredients
  

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

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures it's ready for the frittata once you've prepared it.

    Sauté the Sweet Potatoes: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften but are not fully cooked.

      Add Aromatics: To the skillet, add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped green chilies. Sauté these together for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the sweet potatoes are tender. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

        Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

          Combine Everything: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, making sure to cover all the veggies evenly. Gently lift and stir the mixture slightly to ensure everything is incorporated.

            Bake the Frittata: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The frittata is ready when the eggs have set and the top is slightly golden.

              Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle generously with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.

                Serve: Slice the frittata into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature for a delightful meal any time of the day.
