This loaf is full of vegetables and makes a hearty and filling dinner, lunch or snack.
This recipe is a staple in my home. I make it a lot, because it is healthy, easy, tasty and versatile.
It is also lactose-, gluten- and sugarfree.
I can use a lot of vegetables in one recipe and use it for dinner, lunch (or your kids school lunchboxes) or as a filling snack.
This veggie loaf keeps about a week in the fridge and also freezes well. Just slice it up and put it in the freezer. If you want a slice, just take it out of the freezer and put it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees celcius and you are good to go! Enjoy!
