Notes
*I used the recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction (www.sallysbakingaddiction.com) but you can certainly use your own favorite recipe or even a store-bought crust.
*I love my spiralizer! There are a few models online and it's a fun way to prepare vegetables and fruit, although I use it mostly for vegetables. If you don't have one, you can cut the sweet potato into matchsticks, slices, or small cubes. If you use slices or small cubes, layer the sweet potato/spinach mixture with the egg/cheese mixture.
