- 2 medium zucchinis, diced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 4 medium potatoes, cubed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup low-fat cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Scramble them in a non-stick pan over medium heat until cooked to your liking. If using cheese, add it just before the eggs are done to melt.
- Serve the sautéed vegetables alongside the baked potatoes and scrambled eggs. Garnish with fresh herbs.
