Healthy Vegetarian Recipe - vegetable bake
I LOVE this healthy vegetarian recipe.
It is easy to make, budget friendly, jammed full of nutrition and it tastes amazing!
It is also from our mental wellbeing recipes and meal plans
The thing about veggies is they have some really unique fibre in them called polyphenols.
These polyphenols feed our microbiome (the bugs in our tummy) and our microbiome is key to our mental health.
Giving these good tummy bugs what they need to thrive helps us stabilise our mood. The more colourful veg we can get in the better!
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- ½ a cauliflower
- 1⁄4 jap pumpkin
- 1 capsicum
- 1 can coconut cream
- 1 tbsp savoury yeast flakes (optional)
- 2 tsp of smoked paprika
Method
- Slice all vegetables thinly using a mandolin. Layer the veg like a lasagne into a baking tray.
- Mix coconut cream with paprika, yeast and salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour over the veg stack until it just covers the top. Add a little water if needed to reach the top.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid or foil and bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees or until a knife goes in smoothly.
- If you would like to crisp up the top, take the cover off and leave in the oven on 200c for a further 10 mins.
