Prepare the vegetables: Dice the red and yellow bell peppers, slice the cherry tomatoes in halves, chop the green onions, and rinse the fresh spinach.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites with black pepper and salt (if using) until slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, making sure it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cherry tomatoes and green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
Evenly spread the cooked vegetables across the skillet, then pour the whisked egg whites over the top.
Cook the omelette on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and fully cooked. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help speed up the cooking process.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.
