Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small zucchini, grated
- 1 small sweet potato, grated
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 1 small zucchini, 1 small sweet potato, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Prepare the sweet potato by peeling it, then grating it using a box grater or a food processor. Set the grated sweet potato aside.
- Next, wash the zucchini thoroughly. Grate the zucchini in the same manner as the sweet potato and set it aside as well.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs. Whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about a minute.
- Once the oil is hot, add the grated sweet potato to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender and slightly golden.
- Next, add the grated zucchini to the skillet with the sweet potato. Continue to sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the zucchini is soft and any excess moisture has evaporated.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, evenly distribute them across the skillet and pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed mixture. Tilt the skillet gently to ensure the eggs cover the vegetables evenly.
- Cook the omelet for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- If desired, you can cover the skillet with a lid during the last few minutes of cooking to help the top of the omelet set more quickly.
- When the omelet is fully cooked and no longer runny, carefully slide it onto a plate. You may choose to fold it in half for a classic omelet presentation.
- Serve the zucchini sweet potato omelet hot, garnished with additional salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
Tips
- Always squeeze excess moisture from grated zucchini to prevent a watery omelet
- Use medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning
- A non-stick skillet is crucial for achieving that perfect, smooth omelet texture
- Don't rush the vegetable sautéing process - letting them caramelize adds incredible depth of flavor
- For extra richness, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese or fresh herbs like chives or parsley
- If you prefer a firmer omelet, use the lid technique to help eggs set more quickly
- Experiment with additional spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder to customize your flavor profile
