Roasted Cauliflower Frittata - delicious roasted flavoursome cauliflower combined with eggs, pumpkin puree and parmesan for a delicious and colourful frittata. Perfect for lunches and picnics.
I love frittata's or crustless quiches, super handy for lunch and can be eaten hot or cold, so perfect for on the go too. If we have a picnic or day out planned, I will always make one up to take. They are a great source of protein too and will keep you fuller for longer.
There are quite a few variations of quiches and frittata recipes on the blog to choose from - such as crustless, some with a hash brown crust, some with a sweet potato crust. You never need to be bored of ideas for variation.

Roasting the cauliflower for this frittata is super easy and uses nothing complicated. Just salt, black pepper, a little garlic and onion powder, sliced onion and cooking oil spray. I always love roasting cauliflower as it gives it such a delicious nutty flavour. I actually even roast my Cauliflower Rice.
The beautiful golden colour in this Roasted Cauliflower Frittata comes from some pumpkin puree. I had some leftover from my Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes and not one to waste food, decided to add it to this and it worked beautifully.
You can get pumpkin puree from most large grocery stores, found in a can usually in the baking section or canned fruit section. It is also available on Amazon. Just make sure it is 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling which is loaded with sugar and other ingredients.
If you struggle to get your hands on some of this, you can replace with Butternut Squash puree or even mashed Sweet Potato.
HOW CAN I ADD VEGETABLES TO THIS ROASTED CAULIFLOWER FRITTATA?
There is actually plenty of veg already included in this Roasted Cauliflower Frittata, but it is also perfect served with a mixed salad of some baby greens, julienned carrot and a low cal dressing.

Delicious and guilt free recipe. Even my 6 year old enjoyed it as she doesn’t like pumpkin cooked any other way.
Next will be the fluffy pumpkin pancakes to try. 🙂
