Scrambled eggs with sautéed red bell peppers, zucchini and roasted potatoes
It’s essentially scrambled eggs served with a mix of sautéed red bell peppers and zucchini, plus roasted potatoes for a hearty touch.Here’s a quick breakdown:Scrambled eggs: Lightly beaten eggs cooked until fluffy.Sautéed red bell peppers and zucchini: These add sweetness, freshness, and a bit of texture—cooked in a little olive oil or butter until tender.Roasted potatoes: Usually diced, seasoned (with salt, pepper, maybe some herbs), and cooked until crispy on the outside and soft inside.Everything together makes a nicely balanced plate—protein from the eggs, fiber and vitamins from the veggies, and satisfying carbs from the potatoes.

For the scrambled eggs

Instructions
Roast the potatoes

- Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sauté the vegetables
- While the potatoes roast, heat olive oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini.
- Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
