Here’s what you’ll need to build those layers of flavor and texture:
Let’s walk through the simple yet satisfying steps to transform these ingredients into a gorgeous, golden frittata. With a hot oven and an ovenproof skillet, you’ll layer roasted veggies, sautéed greens, and a light egg custard, then finish it all under high heat for a perfectly set top. Ready your tools, toss those potatoes, and let’s dive in!
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure it’s fully heated so your frittata cooks evenly from the moment it goes in.
2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and toss with half the olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika on a baking sheet. The even cubes help them roast uniformly.
3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Check halfway through and give the pan a quick shake for even coloring.
4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the garlic fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
5. Add the kale to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes, stirring so each leaf softens without burning.
6. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Gently fold in the roasted sweet potatoes to distribute them throughout the custard.
7. Pour the egg and sweet potato mixture into the skillet over the sautéed kale and onions. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top for that creamy, tangy finish.
8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top. Avoid opening the door too soon to keep it puffed.
9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This resting time helps the custard firm up for clean slices.
