Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and prepare all vegetables. Dice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow onion into small, evenly sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Toss in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs evenly over the vegetables. Stir gently with a spatula to combine the eggs and vegetables.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
