Frittatas are a delicious way to pack protein and veggies into a simple weeknight meal. This version features potatoes, broccoli, bell peppers and onion, plus turmeric for color! This recipe comes to us from our friends at Dole Fresh Vegetables.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 small russet potatoes (about 12 ounces), chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion (such as DOLE® Red Onion)
- 2 cups chopped broccoli (such as DOLE® Broccoli)
- 2 cups liquid egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Cooking Tip of the Week: Look for turmeric in the spice aisle, it’s a bright orange powder that has a slightly bitter flavor, but is mostly used for its golden color.
Food for Thought: Vitamin C is part of a healthy diet. It helps us grow and repair our bodies! While citrus fruits might be the first thing that come to mind when thinking about the vitamin, broccoli is actually a super source of vitamin C as well. One cup of chopped broccoli has the same amount of vitamin C as a whole orange and provides the recommended intake of vitamin C for an entire day. Broccoli is also a great source of vitamin K, folate and fiber! How do you like to eat broccoli?
