This frittata is a quick and easy way to get your veggies in. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

The frittata is a classic Italian dish that is made with eggs, cheese, and vegetables. It is typically cooked in a skillet on the stovetop, but it can also be cooked in the oven or in an air fryer. This recipe for a roasted tomato and pepper frittata is a variation on the classic dish that uses roasted tomatoes and peppers instead of fresh vegetables. The roasting process intensifies the flavor of the vegetables and gives the frittata a slightly smoky flavor. This frittata is also made with a combination of whole eggs and egg whites, which makes it a bit lighter and fluffier than a traditional frittata. The result is a delicious and nutritious frittata that is perfect for any meal.
