Tortilla aux légumes

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil offers a similar flavor with a higher smoke point.

bell peppers

🥗Healthier: roasted red peppers

💰Cheaper: canned bell peppers

Canned bell peppers are often more affordable and have a longer shelf life.

zucchini

🥗Healthier: yellow squash

💰Cheaper: cucumbers

Cucumbers can add a refreshing crunch, though texture may vary.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Frozen hash browns can save prep time and are often less expensive.

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds using a mandoline for even thickness.

Reserve the sliced potatoes.

Cut the red bell pepper in half lengthwise, remove the stem and seeds, and cut it into small cubes.

Cut the zucchini into sections, then into strips, and finally into small cubes.

Chop the onion finely.

Heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet.

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced potatoes and cook until golden brown, turning frequently.

Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat it up.

Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet, season with salt, and sauté for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the zucchini, season with herbes de provence, and mix well.

If the mixture is dry, add a small glass of water and continue cooking until the zucchini is tender but still crunchy.

Remove from heat and let the vegetable mixture cool.

In a bowl, crack the eggs and season with black pepper and coarse salt, then whisk until combined.

Add the chopped parsley to the egg mixture.

Once the vegetables have cooled, mix them into the egg mixture thoroughly.

In the skillet, layer the cooked potatoes at the bottom.

Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Cover the skillet with a lid to finish cooking the tortilla.

The tortilla is done when set; do not flip it as the skillet is too deep.
