Ingredients
  

1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated

6 large eggs

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup spinach, chopped (fresh or thawed from frozen)

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 the muffin tin)

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil to ensure easy release of the muffins after baking. Alternatively, you may use muffin liners for convenience.

    Prepare the Sweet Potato: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potato with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix the ingredients well, ensuring the sweet potato is evenly seasoned.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and vigorously whisk them until they become frothy and well combined. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a balanced flavor in your muffins.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the seasoned sweet potato mixture into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Add in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, and diced red bell pepper. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into the egg mixture.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully pour the combined mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows room for the muffins to puff up while baking, which they will slightly settle once removed from the oven.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Your muffins are done when they are set in the center and have a light golden color on top.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Following this, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool more completely. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving. These muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

                Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer preservation, you can freeze the muffins for up to a month. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the microwave or oven.
