Ingredients
2 servings
- •7 large egg whites
- •large egg yolk
- •1 small sweet potato, cut in ½-inch (1 cm) cubes
- •1 cup water
- •1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
- •2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- •kosher salt, to taste
- •ground pepper, to taste
- •2 cups kale leaves, chopped, ribs and stems removed
- •½ blood orange, or ½ a small navel orange
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- Add the egg yolks and gently fold with a rubber spatula until incorporated. Refrigerate while you cook the vegetables.
- In a large, nonstick, oven-safe skillet, combine the sweet potato and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the sweet potato is soft on the outside, about 8 minutes.
- Add the onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped kale and cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and dark green, about 2 minutes more.
- Spread the vegetables evenly over the bottom of the skillet, then pour the egg mixture on top and spread in an even layer.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the frittata is puffed, cooked through, and very lightly browned on top, 5–6 minutes.
- Let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, then flip it onto a cutting board and cut in half.
- Cut the frittata into wedges, then serve with orange slices. Let any leftovers cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
