Superfood Frittata with Sweet Potatoes, Broccoli and Turmeric
I am always trying to incorporate more vegetables into my daily meals and one way that I found to do this is to make a frittata with lots of vegetables. This version is with Broccoli, low GI sweet potatoes and caramelised onions. It is very easy to make and makes a great lunch with a side salad. You can use any vegetable you have in the fridge, even kale or spinach. I use some turmeric in the egg mixture as I am always finding ways to incorporate this great anti inflammatory spice into any recipe. It also gives the dish a rich yellow colour.
This can be eaten cold, put in lunch boxes and taken on picnics too. This recipe is so versatile that you can substitute any other vegetable to make it more to your diet requirements. It is a great Paleo and Low Carb meal too.

If you don’t like the idea of frittatas but want some different egg recipes, you could always try these scrambled egg recipes instead.
