Vegetable Baked Slices Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated vegetables (carrot, zucchini, bell peppers, etc.)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt or milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric or paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or green onions)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• Sesame seeds or nigella seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Line a large baking sheet or shallow pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt (or milk), and oil until smooth.
   • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and turmeric (if using). Mix to form a smooth batter.
   • Fold in the grated vegetables, herbs, and half of the shredded cheese.
3. Assemble and Bake:
   • Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it to a uniform thickness (around 1/2 inch).
   • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and, if desired, sesame or nigella seeds for a crunchy topping.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
4. Slice and Serve:
   • Allow to cool slightly before slicing into rectangular or square pieces.
   • Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, side dish, or light meal.
