# Method Steps:

01 - Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened.
02 - Add spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until spinach wilts completely.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika if using.
04 - Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil if needed, then pour in egg whites. Let set undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently scramble while mixing vegetables into the eggs as they cook.
05 - Remove from heat when eggs are just set but still moist.
06 - Divide between serving plates. Top with fresh salsa and chopped cilantro.
