It may also increase energy levels and assist in maintaining a healthy weight. With the focus on getting in whole foods, you will be eating more fruits and vegetables without even thinking about it. 

Gathering Your Ingredients and Materials

This recipe can come together in a pinch with a few simple materials and ingredients. You will start with a 9-inch cast iron skillet and then will move everything over to a glass pie plate to finish up. 

When it comes to ingredients, you can always add in some of your favorite herbs and other vegetables, but this is what we recommend you start with:

• Kale leaves
• Large eggs
• Gluten-free spaghetti
• Olive oil
• Mozzarella cheese
• Plain soy milk
• Dried basil
• Kosher salt
• Ground black pepper
• Dried oregano

If you need other gluten-free substitutions or are looking for ways to switch it up after making it a few times, you can also try adding in some sweet potatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, sausage, onion, garlic, bell peppers, asparagus, broccoli, or zucchini. 

In order for a recipe to stay in your rotation, it needs to include things that you and your family enjoy. Don’t be afraid to mix and match ingredients to find what works best to fit your needs. With so many delicious and different ways to enjoy a classic frittata, you don’t want to miss out on all of the goodness simply because you don’t like 1 or 2 ingredients that are listed.

Building Your Frittata with Kale

Now that you have your ingredients, follow these easy instructions to build your delicious frittata. This is a prime example that a recipe doesn’t need to be fancy or complicated to be yummy and an absolute crowd-pleaser!

After you preheat your oven to 375°, lightly grease your pie plate with some olive oil. From there, heat up your skillet and stir in your kale and leftover spaghetti. This is going to be the base of your frittata. Take these away from the heat and get ready to finish building your masterpiece.

It’s now time to put everything together! Layer your kale and spaghetti at the bottom of the dish. Go ahead and sprinkle some of the rich and flavorful mozzarella on top of this layer to start the first part of these yummy flavors.

Next, you will whisk your eggs and soy milk together in a large bowl and add in your spices and salt and pepper to taste. Once it’s a little bit frothy, pour your egg mixture over the kale and spaghetti that is already prepped in your glass dish. 

Bake your gluten-free kale frittata for about 35 minutes. You can check to ensure that it is ready by checking it with a fork and then letting it set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This ensures that all of your flavors are able to settle in before it gets to your plate!

This dish does come in a little bit higher in calories and carbs, but you can rest assured that each pan brings you solid ingredients that are going to give you energy and keep you fuller for longer! Some might worry about gluten-free options not packing enough punch, but this recipe will definitely knock those doubts right out the door. 

Superfood Power of Kale

Kale offers so many health benefits that we strongly encourage you to add it to your diet as often as possible! Packed full of vitamins and antioxidants and low in calories, it can boost your diet in no time. 

A few of our favorite ways to use kale include this delicious slaw, some filling hand-pies, creamy smoothies, a crunchy salad, or spice up your next sandwich by adding in a side of kale chips.

The possibilities are truly endless. It can be used in the place of spinach in many recipes if you’re looking to try something different and offers a little more crunch to your basic salad. A branch from the cabbage family, kale is a fun way to try adding new vegetables in a variety of ways while giving your body a healthy boost.

The Secret is in the Cheese

All cheeses offer different tastes as well as benefits, and we want to put a little bit of focus on the mozzarella that helps make up the name of this gluten-free cheesy kale frittata. We chose mozzarella for its rich flavor. Throw in the fact that mozzarella is lower in fat than many other cheese options and still packed with protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients, and you not only get to savor the ooey, gooey deliciousness, but your body gets to reap the health benefits too!
