Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 large egg whites
• 1 cup spinach
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper
• 1 medium tomato
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon low-sodium salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by dicing the red bell pepper, medium tomato, and mincing the garlic clove. Slice the green onion stalks and roughly chop the fresh parsley.

Step 2

In a medium-sized non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced green onions.

Step 3

Saute the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4

Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites in a small bowl until they become slightly frothy and uniform.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach, followed by the diced tomato. Stir and allow the spinach to wilt slightly.

Step 6

Pour the egg whites into the pan with the vegetables. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.

Step 7

Continue cooking while stirring frequently, until the eggs are cooked through but still moist and soft, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 8

Season with low-sodium salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
