July 23, 2019
Recipe by: Cooking Without Gluten
Variety of vegetables, quickly thrown together with little quantity of runny batter, based on eggs and SunFlour, make flexible and easy meal that takes 10-15 minutes to prepare and 30-50 minutes to bake. The dish can be baked as a tray bake or in individual portions, that can be served straight from the oven. Baking provides 2 advantages to very popular vegetable fritters, which use thicker batter with increased quantity of a dry ingredient and take more time to be individually fried. This particular tray bake vegetable slice is grain free, and can be made in dairy free version as well, when butter is replaced with plant oil and dairy free cheese used.
You'll need:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 heaped serving spoons Sunflour
- 3 zucchini
- 3 carrots
- 1 or half leek
- 1 small capsicum (1/2 large)
- 1/2 cup shredded smoked speck or bacon
- 7-8 cherry tomatoes
- 1 Tbs sunflower seed oil
- 1 Tbs butter
- 1 heaped table spoon of chilli peppers and garlic paste
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used Tasty cheese)
- sea salt and black pepper for seasoning to taste
- sesame seeds for decoration
Quantity of vegetables and their ratios depend on the size of baking tray/dish.
