Tasty Low-Carb Egg and Vegetable Saute

Very quick and easy fried eggs with sauteed vegetables. Protein-filled with nutritious vegetables and very little carbs for those, like me, who are always watching their weight.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
• 4 stalks asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 shallot, sliced
• 0.25 green bell pepper, chopped
• 0.25 Chinese okra, peeled and cut crosswise into chunks
• 4 grape tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon chile powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 6 leaves Thai basil, or to taste

Steps

1. Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute asparagus, shallot, green pepper, and Chinese okra until shallot is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, white pepper, chile powder, and cumin. Cook and stir until spices smell toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Pour eggs into the pan; cook until edges start to dry, about 2 minutes. Flip mixture over and cook until set, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle Thai basil on top.
