Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Stir in the sliced green onions just until combined, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, 0.5 cup of skim milk, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Gently stir to ensure even distribution of vegetables throughout the eggs.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before slicing into wedges and serving.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy low sodium vegetable frittata!
