Ingredients

For the Frittata:

  • 8 large pasture-raised eggs (high-quality protein and choline for liver health)

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk (optional, for fluffiness)

  • 1 cup roasted sweet potato cubes (fiber-rich and anti-inflammatory)

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped (rich in chlorophyll and sulfur compounds for detox)

  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (high in vitamin C and antioxidants)

  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion (supports liver detox)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (healthy fats to reduce inflammation)

For Seasoning:

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory and detoxifying)

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (supports liver detox)

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (adds depth and supports circulation)

  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for added detox benefits)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Heat the oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened (about 3–4 minutes).

  • Add the spinach or kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted sweet potato cubes and season with turmeric, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Whisk the Eggs:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until frothy.

3. Assemble the Frittata:

  • Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.

  • Sprinkle the chopped parsley or cilantro on top.

4. Bake:

  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top.

5. Cool and Store:

  • Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Store individual portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
