Frittata di Carote is a light and fluffy Italian egg dish featuring the natural sweetness of carrots, perfect for a healthy brunch. This Paleo-friendly recipe is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients.

Ingredients

• Large eggs - 4
• Carrots - 200 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper until well combined.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the grated carrots to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are slightly tender.
