FAQs

Can I use raw vegetables instead of cooked ones?

It’s best to use cooked pumpkin and potato to ensure they are tender and the frittata cooks evenly. Raw zucchini can be used but sliced thinly.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative and omit or replace the cheddar cheese with a dairy-free cheese option.
