Sweet potato frittata ingredients

- Onion, ginger, and garlic
- Spinach
- Eggs whisked with goat cheese and milk

How to make this sweet potato frittata
This frittata with sweet potatoes is an easy and satisfying breakfast or brunch for weekends or special occasions. Here’s how it’s made in a few simple steps:
- While your oven preheats, toss the sweet potato rounds in a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, then roast the sweet potatoes until soft.
- Next, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a non-stick pan. Add the spinach and let it wilt, then transfer everything to a bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs with about half the goat cheese, milk, curry powder, and sea salt.
- Now all that’s left is to assemble the frittata. In the same non-stick pan, layer the sweet potatoes on the bottom and top with half the veggies. Make another layer, pour on the egg mixture, and top with goat cheese.
- Pop the pan in the oven and cook it until the center sets. Top your frittata with almonds and a few grinds of fresh pepper and you’re ready to serve it!
Sweet potato variation ideas
We love this recipe as it’s written but it is versatile, too! Here are some simple ways to mix up the flavors or use what you have on hand:
- Use other greens like kale, chard, or dandelion greens instead of spinach.
- Try butternut squash in place of sweet potato.
- For a non-vegetarian version, try adding chunks of cooked bacon or ham.
- Feta cheese makes a great substitute for goat cheese, or omit the cheese completely for a dairy-free version.
- Sprinkle in some fresh herbs for added flavor like thyme, oregano, or fresh parsley.
Tips for making sweet potato frittata
- Cut the sweet potatoes so they are all the same thickness so they roast evenly in the oven.
- Cook the sweet potato frittata on medium-low heat. Using higher heat you will risk developing a crust on the bottom.
- It’s best to make it in an oven-safe non-stick pan so you can flip it over and serve it on a plate. We make it in a cast iron skillet and it turns out great, but it’s more likely to stick so you’ll need to slice it and serve it right from the pan.
- Enjoy your frittata warm or cold.

Thanks, Maureen! I hope you like it as much as I do!!
Well, I made this wonderful dish this morning. I didn’t have any sweet potatoes but I did have some sturdy baking potatoes. I used coconut oil but I think I would cut it in half, and then half again. I spiralized the potatoes so they cooked considerably quicker, too.!
I would punch up the curry, too. It was lovely and mild but I love curry. My husband was thrilled with the dish and even did “The Happy Dance” when I told him there would be potatoes in his frittata. I’d upload a video…but we’re middle aged and it might be a smidge embarrassing!
This one’s a keeper!
Guess who bought sweet potatoes for tomorrow’s breakfast! *grin*
I love it!!! 🙂
