Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat a large enameled cast iron, cast iron pan, or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and spread them out evenly, allowing them to sit untouched for 6-8 minutes. Afterward, stir and cook for another 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the remaining olive oil and then add the chopped asparagus, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and additional salt and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and mix in the milk along with some salt and pepper. Stir in about 2/3 of the crumbled goat cheese.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, ensuring it's distributed evenly. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom begins to set. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese on top.
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are firm.
Slice the frittata into 6 pieces and serve warm, with desired toppings.

Notes

This frittata can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it a great meal prep option.
Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what you have on hand; bell peppers or spinach work well too.
For added flavor, experiment with different herbs like thyme or basil.
