It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. And the best part? It’s easy to make with simple ingredients you already have at home.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To prepare this delicious meal, these are the ingredients you will need.

• ½ tuber of small sized yam (peeled and sliced into small cubes)

• 4–5 eggs

• 1 medium onion (chopped)

• 1 fresh tomato (chopped) or blended pepper mix

• 1 small green bell pepper (optional, for color)

• 2 tablespoons vegetable or palm oil

• Seasoning cube and salt (to taste)

• A pinch of thyme or curry (optional)

Step-By-Step Preparation

Yam frittata is simple to make. Just follow these easy steps and you’ll have a tasty yam frittata in no time. 

Step 1

•  Boil the Yam

• Peel and cut yam into small cubes.

• Boil in salted water until soft but not too mushy.

• Drain and set aside.

Step 2

• Prepare the Sauce

• Heat oil in a pan.

• Add chopped onions, tomatoes (or pepper mix), and stir-fry for a few minutes.

• Season with salt, seasoning cubes, and spices.

• Add your boiled yam cubes and stir gently to coat.

Step 3

• Mix in the Eggs

• Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them evenly over the yam mixture.

• Add chopped bell peppers on top for extra color.

Step 4

• Cook or Bake

You can do this on gas or stove top. Just cover the pan, reduce heat, and let it cook on low for 10–12 minutes until the eggs are set.

If you decide to bake using the oven, transfer mixture into a greased baking pan, bake at 180°C for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Tips For The Best Yam Frittata 

To get the best of the yam frittata, ensure to do the following:

1. Don’t overboil the yam. Slightly firm cubes give better texture.

2. Use a mix of red and green peppers for that inviting, colorful look.

3. For a richer taste, sprinkle a little grated cheese on top before baking.

And there you have it!  Yam frittata, a delicious version of everyday yam and egg. It’s simple, nutritious, and guaranteed to make your family ask for more.
