Mini Frittatas: Sweet Potato, Red Onion, and Brussels Sprouts!

These mini frittatas are SO good, SO easy, and they look SO fancy when they are finished! I was very proud of these.
The combination of ingredients was pretty random...you could really use anything you've got in your fridge...I just happened to have brussels and red onion. But they came out really nice! Very filling too. Add a grain and an extra serving of veggies and you've got dinner on the table.

Mini Veggie Frittatas.





Mini Veggie Frittatas; Vegan, Gluten-Free. Makes 3 mini Frittatas (one serving). 


Ingredients
  1. Small-medium size sweet potato (mine weighed 5 oz.), steamed
  2. 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  3. 2 tsp minced garlic
  4. 6 oz. firm tofu
  5. poultry seasoning to taste 
  6. 6 oz. brussels sprouts


Method
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. Steam your potato. I did this quickly by piercing it a few times with a sharp knife, wrapping it in a paper towel, and microwaving it for 2 and 1/2 minutes. 
  3. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté your onion and garlic in a little water. Cook for two minutes, add poultry seasoning, and cook until liquid is gone.
  4. Once cool, peel your potato and place it in a mini food processor along with the tofu. Process with a splash of water until a thick and completely smooth batter/paste forms (it will be VERY thick!).
  5. Transfer to a medium-large bowl and stir in your onion and garlic sauté. Mix together very well and spread batter into desired bakeware (I used 3 mini paper oven-safe baking dishes, but silicone would work perfectly also). 
  6. Place dishes on baking sheet and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from dishes. Enjoy!
