Roasted Vegetable Frittata

Do you ever buy vegetables and proceed to forget about their existence, until a week later when you discover a courgette on its last legs in the back of the fridge? That’s when vegetable frittata comes to the rescue! It’s such a great way to use up whatever you can find to create a delicious, easy to store, goodness-filled meal.

For this recipe I used a mixture of red pepper, mushroom, courgette, red onion and tomato. But, the frittata will work with pretty much any vegetables you fancy. Try broccoli, butternut squash, peas, sweetcorn, green beans… you get the idea!

Veg swapping tip

Here I pre-roasted the red pepper, courgette and red onion before combining them with everything else. As the tomatoes and mushroom cook more quickly than the others, they were simply placed in raw with the egg mixture. Follow this same general rule with whatever veggies you choose. Slower cooking veg = pre-roast. Quicker cooking veg = in with the egg.

Storing leftover vegetable frittata

This is definitely one you can keep for tomorrow’s lunch. Enjoy cold or pop back in the oven for 10-15 mins. It’ll be just as tasty as the night before! Frittata can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It also freezes very well (keep up to 3 months).

I hope this simple recipe has provided some dinner inspiration! It’s always a good one for when the cupboards are looking a little bare. If you give this a go, we’d love to hear what you thought in the comments below. You can also tag us in your foodie photos on Instagram @BlueSkyEating! Enjoy. 🙂
