Cooking is how my husband, Khashayar, unwinds — and since his work has been ultra busy lately — in his spare time, he’s cooked up a storm. It’s as great for my tummy as it is for allowing me time to write my novels (more about them).
Lucky me, he’s as interested in coming up with plates as healthy and tasty as they are appealing. It’s always best to read an entire recipe to the end before setting out to shop for ingredients and cook. Here’s his latest recipe.…
Sweet Potato Veg Frittata by Khashayar Parsi
Step 1
Combine…
- Sweet potato, 1 large, shredded
- Parsnip, 1 medium, shredded
- Onion, 1 medium, diced small
- Mushroom, 1/2 pound, diced small
- Eggs, large, 4
Seasonings to Taste…
- Salt
- Black pepper

Step 2
Mix in…
- Cheddar cheese, extra sharp, 3 ounces, shredded
- Tahini 1/2 cup
Step 3a + Step 3b
Add…
- Olive oil, 2 tablespoons
…to a non-stick 12-13” sauté pan. Cook on medium heat for about 45 minutes, until browned. Flip half-cooked frittata onto a plate.
While the frittata is cooking, roast…
- Zucchinis, 6 medium, sliced into thin medallions
- Rubbed with olive oil and seasoned to taste
…on parchment paper in a 350 degree oven, until the zucchinis are browned, which will take roughly half an hour.
Step 4

Step 5

Transfer the cooked frittata to a platter. Decorate with spirals of zucchini, dollops of Greek yogurt mixed with shallots, and sprinkles of dill.
Serves 4 to 6 people. Pairs great with a salad like this one of beets and greens…

The food sure looks delicious 🌸💕and really great that hubby unwinds and use his spare time to cook up a storm. When I see how my daughters enjoy and love food, I think the phrase “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is outdated. It should be adjusted – the way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach as nearly half of women indicated that food is the way to their hearts ☺️

Wow! May I invite myself over to your place for dinner? Looks delicious. My favorite veggie is acorn squash, but my horses would say carrots reign supreme.
