Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Red Onion: Thinly slice the red onion.
- Potatoes: Dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into rounds.
- Red Pepper: Chop the red pepper.
- Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the sliced red onion and diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
- Add the sliced zucchini, chopped red pepper, and minced garlic. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and slightly golden.
- While the vegetables are roasting, crack the eggs into a large bowl.
- Add the light sour cream to the eggs and whisk together until well combined.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the roasted vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is lightly golden. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the vegetables and cooking the frittata evenly.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly, preventing any pieces from being over- or under-cooked.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized, which will enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Whisk the eggs, sour cream, and a bit of salt and pepper to create a smooth mixture that will bake into a wonderful, fluffy texture.
- Use an oven-safe skillet, such as a cast iron pan, for both roasting the vegetables and baking the frittata to cut down on dishes and streamline your cooking process.
- Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven; it will be easier to slice and serve.
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, cheeses, and herbs to customize the frittata to your tastes. Spinach, mushrooms, and feta cheese make excellent additions.
This roasted vegetable frittata is a fantastic recipe for any meal of the day. The combination of roasted vegetables, creamy eggs, and savory parmesan creates a mouth-watering dish that's both satisfying and nutritious. Enjoy it on its own, or serve it with a side salad or some crusty bread for a more complete meal. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this frittata is sure to become a household favorite.
