Ingredients
  

1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated

6 large eggs

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup fresh or frozen spinach, chopped

1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing muffin tin)

Optional garnish: Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking, or line it with muffin liners for easier removal after baking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potato with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the sweet potato.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them vigorously until frothy and well-blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.

        Combine All Ingredients: Pour the seasoned sweet potato mixture into the bowl of whisked eggs. Add in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, and diced red bell pepper. Gently fold all the ingredients together until they are well incorporated, creating a cohesive mixture.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the combined mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full. The muffins will rise while baking but will settle slightly upon cooling.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. They are done when the muffins have set in the center and are lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool further. If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for an added touch before serving. These muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

                Storage: Any leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to a month. To enjoy, simply reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
