Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and finely grated

6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for an extra cheesy flavor)

1/4 cup milk (can be dairy or plant-based)

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (choose any color for a vibrant look)

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or a light drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes with a small pinch of salt. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes; this will help extract excess moisture, making the mixture easier to handle.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them together with the milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

        Combine the Ingredients: After the sweet potatoes have rested, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess moisture. Add the drained sweet potatoes to the egg mixture, followed by the optional cheese, diced bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Stir everything together until you have a uniform mixture.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully divide the sweet potato mixture evenly among the muffin cavities in the prepared tin, filling each to about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and the tops have turned a lovely golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Use a small knife or spatula to gently loosen the edges before popping the muffins out. They can be enjoyed warm, or if you prefer, let them cool completely before storing for later enjoyment!
