Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

✔️ Cut your pumpkin into small, even-sized pieces so it cooks evenly and doesn’t take long in the oven.
✔️ Roast the pumpkin until just tender — if it’s too soft, it can fall apart when you assemble the frittata.
✔️ Use fresh baby spinach rather than frozen to avoid excess water in your dish.
✔️ You’ll know the frittata is ready when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
✔️ Let it cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape.
✔️ Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
✔️ Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave, air fryer or oven.
✔️ Serve warm or cold — both are equally delicious!
