Sweetpotato Italian Rafanata

Recipe created by Roxana Ehsani, M.S., RD, CSSD, LDN
Here’s a delicious twist your frittata and omelet - meet our Italian-Inspired Sweetpotato Rafanta recipe. This dish is a twist on traditional Italian rafanata (which means horseradish in italian) that falls somewhere between a frittata and an omelet.  
The spicy, peppery kick from horseradish pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of sweetpotatoes 🍠while the pecorino cheese adds a rich, umami finish. 🧡🍽️ Rafanta is typically sliced into wedges and served warm or at room temp. 
💡DYK: A medium sweetpotato baked in its skin has 4 grams of fiber, more than a packet of instant oatmeal! 🍠🧡
