Notes:
- Before roasting, feel free to season the vegetables with your favourite herbs (like thyme or rosemary) or a sprinkle of garlic powder to elevate the flavour.
- This frittata can be served warm or at room temperature, making it an excellent choice for picnics, brunches, or meal prep. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or some crusty bread.
- If you’re out of any of the vegetables listed, feel free to swap in others that are in season, like sweet potato, zucchini, or leeks. The great thing about frittatas is how versatile they are!
- Be sure to squeeze out any excess water from the spinach (especially if using frozen) to avoid a soggy frittata. Fresh spinach works great, too!
- If you have leftovers, frittatas freeze well. Let it cool completely, then slice it into portions and wrap them individually for easy grab-and-go meals later.
