Sweet potato, spinach and feta frittata

This colourful frittata is perfect to prep for the week ahead and will last in the fridge all week long.

Milk and eggs are both great sources B group vitamins, especially biotin and riboflavin – two essential nutrients which support energy production, growth and development. Sweet potato, red onion and spinach are all naturally rich in folate and vitamin B6, which play an integral role in supporting our immune system and brain health.

Roasting these high fibre veggies in the pan cuts down on washing and also maximises the frittata’s flavour, ensuring all those crisp caramelised pieces get baked in!
