Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup spinach or kale (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add seasonings of your choice.
  5. Combine roasted sweet potatoes and optional ingredients like spinach and cheese in a greased baking dish.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sweet potato mix, ensuring everything is well-coated.
