  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Tips

***Be sure all of your spices are gluten free.***

Feel free to substitute the sweet potatoes with russet potatoes or add 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese to the egg mixture for additional flavor.

If you desire to use all fresh ingredients, substitute the onion and garlic powder for 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 1 clove minced garlic. Saute them in the pan and then add them to the raw egg mixture.

  1. I made this frittata this morning. We had some left over Italian sausage from dinner so I added that and it turned out terrific!
