    This pumpkin frittata recipe has a combination of pumpkin and spinach.  A low carb and gluten-free dish with the flavors of autumn that can be enjoyed any time of the year. 

    The vibrant colours of the orange pumpkin and green spinach make this frittata look uplifting as well as delicious. Serve with a side salad for a healthy lunch or light dinner.

    As you may know by now, I love a frittata.  As well as being a great way to use up leftovers it is a great lunch/supper dish that is simple and tasty to make.  You could add cheese to this, either Parmesan or Feta but I have been eating too much cheese recently so made it without.

    IS PUMPKIN LOW CARB?

    Pumpkin is a squash with just 6.5 net carbohydrates per 100g serving and packed with nutrients, making it a great low carb option. Enjoy it as a sweet or savory dish.

    WHAT IS A FRITTATA?

    A frittata is an open faced omelette full of vegetables and often cheese that is baked in the oven. Some may call it a flat, thick omelette or crustless quiche.

    WHAT IS THE BEST PAN TO COOK A FRITTATA IN?

    Although we used a frying pan, a cast iron skillet is a great option. Ensure that the skillet is well seasoned and oiled so that the frittata does not stick. We bake our frittata's and a cast iron skillet is great for this.

    If you are cooking your frittata on the stove top, then finishing it under the grill/broiler than a frying pan is suitable.

    PUMPKIN FRITTATA INGREDIENTS

    A frittata will often have cream added to the egg mixture but I've omitted it. By all means add a dash of cream to your recipe if you wish.

    pumpkin frittata ingredients
    • Pumpkin - we use uncooked pumpkin and cut into into small chunks for quicker cooking.
    • Spinach - fresh baby spinach was used, but defrosted spinach can be substituted.
    • Nutmeg - I love this spice with spinach but if you don't like it, omit it and try thyme, sage or rosemary instead.

    HOW TO MAKE A LOW CARB PUMPKIN FRITTATA

    We cook the pumpkin and spinach mixture on the stove, add the beaten eggs then bake the frittata in the oven until firm.

    This recipe was made in a 9 inch pan and makes a large frittata. For a smaller frittata, half the recipe and cook in a smaller pan.

    VARIATIONS & TIPS

    If you want to add some cheese to this frittata, try feta cheese or goats cheese. A strong cheddar would work too.

    Swap the spinach for kale for another healthy low carb green vegetable.

    Used left over cooked or roasted pumpkin for a quicker dish.

    STORAGE

    Any leftover pumpkin spinach frittata should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container and will last up to 3-4 days. Enjoy it cold or reheat in a microwave or oven.
