Almond vegetable bake

Vegetable bakes are common in my kitchen and so I am always looking for ways to change things up. This experiment was really lovely with the almond topping adding a lovely new flavour to the vegetables. 

ALMOND VEGETABLE BAKE

1 medium-large carrot

2 broccoli florets
1 small red capsicum/bell pepper
1 green cabbage leaf
50g almond meal
3tsp extra virgin olive oil

1. Peel carrot and  remove the woody end. Dice and place in a medium sized bowl

2. Dice the broccoli and add to bowl

3. Remove stalk, white ribs and seeds from bell pepper. Dice and add to bowl

4. Slice cabbage finely and then chop slices into small pieces. Add to bowl 

5. Combine vegetables very well and spread into a small ovenproof dish approximately 19x13cm or 7.5x5inches and 5cm/2inches deep

6. Combine almond meal and olive oil in a small bowl and spread evenly on top of vegetables

7. Cook in a moderate oven (180°C/350°F) for 20 minutes or until the topping has started to brown

Enjoy immediately (I like to stir the topping through before eating) ❤️

Hot tips!
