Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the pumpkin cubes on a baking tray and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the pumpkin is roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and light sour cream until well combined and smooth.
- Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, arugula, sautéed onions, and roasted pumpkin. Mix everything gently to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if it's not already heated from roasting the pumpkin.
- Pour the frittata mixture into a greased oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
- Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the frittata is firm in the center and slightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly before slicing.
- While the frittata is baking, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber in a large serving bowl.
- Drizzle with Italian salad dressing and toss to coat evenly.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm.
- Serve the fresh salad on the side.

Pair it with a simple mixed greens salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a drizzle of Italian salad dressing for a complete and balanced meal. Bon appétit!
Roasted pumpkin, rocket and fetta frittata FAQ:
A 10-inch (25 cm) oven-safe skillet or baking dish works well for this frittata. If you use a different size, cooking time may vary.
The frittata is done when it's firm in the center and slightly golden on top. You can check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Yes, you can substitute feta and mozzarella with similar cheeses, such as goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier texture. Adjust the amounts to maintain flavor.
Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
If you double the recipe, you may need to extend the baking time by an additional 10-15 minutes. Check for doneness periodically to avoid overcooking.
Tips:
- To roast the pumpkin, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Cut the pumpkin into small cubes, toss them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- For a fluffier frittata, beat the eggs well until they are frothy before combining with the other ingredients.
- Be sure to use a non-stick or well-greased oven-safe skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can start cooking the frittata on the stove and then transfer it to a baking dish to finish in the oven.
- For added flavor, you can sauté the onions until they are golden brown before mixing them into the egg mixture.
- Feel free to customize your frittata by adding other vegetables or herbs such as bell peppers, spinach, or fresh basil.
