Ingredients
| 3 tsp / 15 ml | olive oil |
| 1 cup / 250 ml | cubed butternut squash or sweet potato |
| 1/3 cup / 75 ml | drained, canned chickpeas |
| 2 tbsp / 30 ml | sun-dried tomato paste |
| 1 1/3 cup / 325 ml | Naturegg Simply Egg Whites, well shaken |
| Pinch | each salt and pepper |
| 1/2 cup / 125 ml | baby arugula (plus extra for garnish) |
| halved grape tomatos | |
| balsamic glaze (optional) |
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss squash with 1 tsp (5 mL) olive oil; spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 minutes or until tender and golden. Toss roasted squash with chickpeas and sun-dried tomato pesto.
Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) oil in an 8-inch (20 cm) skillet set over medium-low heat. Use a whisk to whip egg whites with salt and pepper until very foamy and light. Pour half the egg whites into skillet. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until just set enough to fold.
Arrange half the arugula over one side of omelette; top with half the squash mixture. Fold over to enclose. Cover and cook for 1 minute. Slide onto a plate and keep warm while preparing the second omelette with remaining ingredients.
Garnish omelettes with additional arugula, tomatoes and balsamic glaze (if using) to serve.
Tips
Add a cheese such as crumbled goat cheese, fresh mozzarella or shaved Parmesan to the filling.
Replace sun-dried tomato pesto with regular basil pesto.

If you over beat egg whites and they're too stiff, gently stir in 1 or 2 unbeaten whites to every 5 or 6 whites or add a few teaspoons of sugar and beat again briefly until they are smooth.
