INGREDIENTS
- 2 large eggs

INSTRUCTIONS
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well with a fork or whisk until they are fully combined.
Add diced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, chopped spinach, and green chili (if using) to the beaten eggs.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, turmeric powder, and cumin powder (if using). Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Alternatively, you can use cooking spray to grease the pan.
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a circular shape.
Cook the omelette on medium-low heat for a few minutes until the bottom is set and slightly golden.
Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it’s fully cooked and lightly browned.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and fold it in half or roll it up as per your preference.
Serve the Vegetable Omelette hot with a side of green salad or a whole wheat toast (optional).
TIPS
Use a non-stick pan: To reduce the amount of oil needed, cook the omelette in a non-stick pan to prevent sticking.
Add a variety of vegetables: Feel free to include other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or grated carrots to increase the nutritional value and add more flavors.
Avoid excessive oil or cheese: Be mindful of the amount of oil or cheese you use in the omelette, as they can add extra calories. If using cheese, opt for a small amount of low-fat cheese.
Control portion size: Keep the omelette portion moderate to control calorie intake.
Serve with a side of salad: Pair the omelette with a side of fresh green salad to increase fiber intake and promote fullness.
Limit high-calorie accompaniments: Avoid serving the omelette with high-calorie sides like buttered toast or fried potatoes.
Experiment with spices: Customize the flavor by adding different spices or herbs such as oregano, paprika, or basil, depending on your taste preferences.
Have it as a balanced meal: Enjoy the vegetable omelette as part of a balanced meal that includes whole grains, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables to ensure you’re getting a well-rounded nutrition.
