Quick and Easy Bonfire Night Recipes

squash frittata

When I have friends over, I often make frittatas. It’s healthy, looks great, and you can eat as much or as little as you want. Vegetables can be replaced with seasonal ones. Squash is a great option at this time of year.

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C.
2. Melt half of the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add pumpkin and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened, transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, add the sweet potatoes, cumin, and thyme and cook over medium heat until soft and golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
4. Remove sweet potatoes from the pot and place on kitchen paper to absorb moisture.
5. Place eggs in a bowl, add parsley and Parmesan cheese and mix.
6. Add squash mixture and sweet potatoes back to pot and stir. Season with salt and pepper, then pour in the egg mixture.
7. Place the bread in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until set (finish under the grill for extra crunch). Divide it among plates or leave it in the pot so your guests can help themselves.
8. You can also make salsa verde to accompany your frittata. For recipes and more ideas, see my book Eat Beautiful.
