This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini and carrots that were about to go bad, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I didn't have any parsnip, so I used extra zucchini instead. It was still delicious, but I'm curious to try it with parsnip next time.

My frittata fingers turned out a little too dry, but they were still tasty. I think I'll try adding some more milk or yogurt next time.
