Chef’s Tip

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ½ large red onion, diced
  • Pinch of sea salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons pressed garlic (approx. 4 cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon Bragg’s or wheat-free organic tamari
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped basil
  • 1 ½ cups chopped spinach, packed
  • 1 cup baked yams (See Roasted Yams Recipe)
  • 6 free-range eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté onions with a pinch of salt and pepper until translucent.
  3. Stir in garlic, chili powder, and sriracha, cooking for about a minute.
  4. Add tamari, lemon juice, and honey, stirring well. Add basil and let the liquids cook down for a few minutes.
  5. Mix in the baked yams and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
  7. In a 6-inch pan or similar baking dish, combine the eggs and vegetable mixture, stirring to evenly distribute. The mixture should be about 1 ½ inches thick.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 10 minutes and again at 15.
Chef’s Tip

For extra texture, add sautéed mushrooms or roasted bell peppers to the mix. If you like a touch of crunch, top with toasted seeds or crumbled feta before serving.
