Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 egg yolks and 8 egg whites until well combined. Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Add another 1 tsp of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the chopped onion and cook until the onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook until it is wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
Distribute the sweet potato, onion, and kale mixture evenly in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top, about 12-15 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve warm.
