Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Vegetables:

  3. Mix Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables, chopped onions, and minced garlic.
    • Add the flaxseed or chia seed mixture (or plant-based yogurt) to the vegetables.
    • Add vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and your chosen fresh herbs. Mix well.
  4. Prepare the Breading:
    • If using whole-grain bread, blend the slices into crumbs using a food processor.
    • Mix the breadcrumbs into the vegetable mixture.
  5. Bake:
    • Grease a baking dish with a bit of oil.
    • Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the dish.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is firm to the touch.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the bake cool slightly before slicing and serving.
