Easy Vegetable Bake
Veggie meal prep to last you all week for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I love to make this dish for my meal prep especially. It lasts me all week long and I always have a healthy veggie side dish, breakfast or lunch to count on when I’m busy. This reheats like a dream in a pan or in my mini counter oven.
You can use any flour you like here like almond flour, oat flour or Gluten Free all purpose flour. Also any milk you prefer works in this recipe.
You can use any supplemental vegetables you have on hand, like mushrooms. The base needs to be something meaty like all cauliflower or all broccoli.

Easy Vegetable Bake
Ingredients
- 1 medium head broccoli, cut into medium florets
- 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the cauliflower and bring back to a boil. Cook for 7minutes then add in the broccoli and cook for another 2 minutes or until the broccoli is just fork tender. Drain both vegetables to dry.
- While the cauliflower and broccoli cook, in a small pan, saute your onion in the olive oil for 3 minutes or until translucent on medium heat.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Add the broccoli, cauliflower, onion and bell pepper to a 9×13" baking dish. Spread out evenly and colorfully and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, add your eggs, olive oil, milk and whisk to combine. Next mix in the flour, grated parmesan and spices and lastly the parsley. Pour this mixture evenly over the vegetables then top with shredded cheese. Bake this for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool for 10 minutes prior to slicing.

Hi, your nutrition values at the end of recipe is based on per serving of how many grams? Or is it based on the whose recipe?
Thanks.
Hi, its based on 8 servings. So the 9×13 inch dish divided into eight pieces.
Looks delish! Can we replace the olive oil or not put as much in?
I just started back on WW and Olive oil is a lot of points.
Hi Maria, yes, you can decrease a little olive oil
I saw this on Instagram this morning and couldn’t wait to make it tonight for dinner. I didn’t have cauliflower or the pepper but I had a lot of broccoli. It was amazing and I can’t wait to try it with more vegetables next time. I was worried about the flour being lumpy, but it was totally fine after the whole thing was baked, thank you so much for posting!
HI Nancy, Glad you liked the recipe and thanks so much for trying it and your kind feedback!
Thank You Stella for another delicious recipe! Keep them coming Stella 🙂
Hi Stella
I made the dish this evening and yes… it’s very good indeed.
Can I ask, does it freeze well?
Thank you so much.
Wonderful recipes.
Angela
HI Angela, so happy you liked the recipe and thanks for trying it! Yes it freezes great! Enjoy!
I tried this recipe tonight for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be trying more of your recipes. they look fab. Thanks so much for posting them.
HI June, Glad you liked the recipe! and thank you so much for the kind review!
Inspiring…thanks. vegetables are my favourite food so will make this for sure…
Hi Wendy, I’m right there with you! Hope you try it!
It was a bit of work and although I liked it, I’m not sure I would go through it again.
I have tried other recipes here and love them though!
Hi Roxanne, sorry the recipe wasnt to your liking! Thank you for trying it though and your honest review…
I haven’t made it but seems like it would be too dry. I will add another egg, some softened cream cheese and one can of cr of mushroom soup.
No it is not dry at all. No need to add a can of soup or another egg or cream cheese. I have made it twice and it’s just right the way it is. Delicious……
Agree. Made as per recipe and it turned out great. Wouldn’t change a thing.
I made this as posted. The texture was good but it seemed a bit bland, like it could use more spices. I used gluten free flour and almond milk. Maybe that made a difference in taste? I’ll experiment with it because I love the idea of a veggie bake.
Hi Deb, so sorry it fell short on flavor. Make sure those veggies are seasoned going in is the best tip I can give! Thanks for trying it too!
I made it for dinner tonight and also found it bland. Not sure if I’ll try it again or not, but if I do, I’m thinking more seasonings and top with gouda instead.
Simply delish! ❤️❤️
Hi Rita, glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind rating!
this receipt is a lot of work but it’s absolutely delicious so worth the effort thank you so much for sharing!
Glad it ended up being a winner for you!
hello. what about people who don’t like cauliflower? what other vegetable can I add?
Hi Franklin, just add more broccoli!
love these simple recipes which are also economical.I now don’t have any excuse not having a nutritious meal on hand! Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thank you for the kind comment
This recipe looks SUPER yummy!!! I LOVE veggies!!!
I do have a quick question…I’m allergic to eggs. What, if anything, could I use to replace them with in this recipe?
Thank you!!
Hi Megan thanks so much! You could try flax eggs or an egg replacer like Just Eggs.
Any suggestions for egg allergies — any viable substitute?
Flax Eggs
Decent, but not delicious. And 1 full cup of flour gives it an unappetizing doughy texture. I would cut the flour in half and add a lot more seasoning.
HI Natasha, so sorry the recipe didn’t work for you! Thanks for sharing your feedback
Such a pretty dish but needed extra seasoning. Next time I’ll kick up the seasoning, cover while it bakes and then add the mozzarella last.
Hi Ragan, so sorry the recipe didn’t fully work for you! Thanks for sharing your feedback
This is great… made it tonight?
Can you freeze leftovers ?
Hi Gail, Glad you liked it! Yes you can freeze the leftovers!
Very tasty dish, made it with almond flour, thank you 🙂
Hi Dora, that’s awesome! Sounds delicious! Thanks for the useful feedback!
I was quite surprised and proud of the way this dish turned out. I was a little skeptical when putting all the ingredients together, and thinking way too much flour but followed through the recipe anyway. It came out delicious! The aroma with all that cheese, nice and golden brown. Taste like a frittata and quiche! I’ll be making this again! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Carmelita, so glad it worked out for you and was a winner! Thanks for the gracious review!
Has anyone tried it with their left over turkey in it? I like dishes that are all in one like that. Just not sure the mix of turkey in it. I bet ham would be good but I have turkey to use
Trying to prep for the holidays. Can you freeze this – either before or after baking!
Hi Toula, I would freeze before baking
Absolutely loved! I did add spudlite potatoes (low calorie potatoes) & carrots to the mixture to make it a little more filling. Was such a tasty dish though, had to try and stop myself from eating them entire tray!
Hi Lace, I feel you! I love this bake too! Thanks for the kind rating!
Great dish, now one of our “go to” side dishes
HI Don, glad you all liked it! Thanks for the 5 star rating!
This was delicious! I felt like I was eating pizza! Love your recipes! Thank you!
Hi Valeria, so glad you liked it and thank you for the sweet rating!! Cheers!
Looks yummy, can you use frozen vegetables? Would you defrost them first?
Hi Tracey, yes you can! I would defrost and make sure most liquids are removed..
Can you make this ahead of time! Thoughts on doing so?
Hi Elaine, YES! Preferably Assembly everything – veggies in your baking dish and the pour over mixture in a sepearte glass) When ready to bake, pour over and bake.
I would like to make ahead of time , and bake the next day. Will that work too?
Hi Mary , yes that will work!
After being cooked , for how long can I keep in the fridge ?? Can I put it in the freezer too ??
Delicious! I added fresh Dill, and mushrooms. So easy to put together and tastes really good. Thank you for a great recipe!
I just made this and it’s delicious. I saw some comments that it’s bland but mine wasn’t at all and I’m not the best cook. Yes it took a while but I enjoy cooking. I did add some sausage meat to mine and also had some cherry tomatoes left over so I cut those in half and added them and also added some Italian seasoning and it’s just delicious. I live alone so this is my dinner for the week and I can also take it to work for my lunch. I will definitely make again.
Can you use frozen vegetables? Thanks
I was so excited to try this recipe for a side dish with Christmas dinner. It was a hit! I made it again on New Year’s Day, but added feta, an additional yellow pepper, and fresh dill. I love the different variations and know this will become a regular recipe in our home.
Easy Peasy ! Added lot more parsley . Slightly less flour, lot of paprika . Yummy and easy to store for snack time during week . Thank you
Hi Marni, awesome! thanks for sharing your feedback too!
Delicious!
Hi WAnda, thanks for trying it!
τελειο!!!!!μπραβο Στέλλα κάθε μέρα ψάχνω να βρω τι θα φτιάξω η μαγειρική μαζί σου εχει ανέβει επίπεδο
Just made this recipe and loved it. Will make again. Excellent for a meatless meal.
Awesome! thanks for trying it!
So yummy! Needs a bit of salt and I would add mushrooms next time!
I so wanted to love this dish. I was excited for a new veggie dish that would work well for our family gatherings. I appreciate the idea of this recipe but I would make some significant changes if I make it again. I would saute the parboiled cauliflower and broccoli(and I may cook them a couple minutes less so they are a bit more firm) in the softened onions and add garlic and season them with Italian seasoning as well as salt and pepper. I would add more spices to the egg and flour mixture and use a more flavorful cheese to top it…maybe pepper jack to add a little kick.
Thank you for sharing this as I am now on going to tweak it to my taste.
soooooo good!!! I modified the recipe by adding eggplant pasta sauce to the cooked cauliflower and broccoli to boost the flavor then spread it out in the pan and layered the other ingredients! My teen said it tasted like a pizza!!!
Love this recipe. What a great way to get everyone to eat more veggies. I just double the amount of garlic powder and paprika for extra taste.
Love this dish. What a great way to getting us all to eat more veggies.
I made your recipe tonight.
I am on a low carb keto regimen.
I substitute the white flour for almond flour, I used almond milk, and used spinach instead of red bell pepper.
I was pleasantly surprised how very tasty it was!
The only thing I would add would be more salt and pepper. I did put some in but not enough!
I will make it again, for sure 👌
Healthy can taste wonderful. I love the colorful display of this dish also.
hi, making this tonight though seems like a lot of flour. Is that really the correct amount? thankyou
I used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder and would recommend sautéing it and the pepper before adding it because the pepper was a bit al dente.. My husband and I love it overall. Delicious
We loved this recipe. So easy and delicious. Will definitely make this again.
Thank you!
I’m finally eating my vegetables! This is super tasty and as I try to incorporate more veggies into my diet, this is now a regular. Thank you for this recipe! – Barb from Far West Canada. 🙂
Just lovely! I was looking for something like the veggie bake we used to make with Bisquick. The salt in that is too much and buying the gluten free mix (for me) is not worth it. I used GF flour and oatmilk. I added herbs and spices that I like and it was great. Enough for me to take for lunch to work a few days. Thank you very much for the good solid recipe. You have opened doors to make more comfort food that is healthy and satisfying.
HI Rebecca, Glad the recipe worked out for you and you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us – its super helpful!
I see cabbage in there, was it left off the recipe?
I can’t wait to make this after seeing it on Instagram! Quick question though – do you sauté the red bell pepper with the onion or just put in raw with the cooked onion, broccoli and cauliflower? Thank you!!
Hi Stella! I love your recipes, this vegetable bake is one of my favorites, I’ve made it several times, it is delicious, and it doesn’t last long, gone as soon as I make it. I Thank you for it.
This is a dish I would love but my Hubby, not so much because he doesn’t like cauliflower or broccoli. Has anyone substituted other vegetables for these two? I’m thinking about trying sliced carrots, green beans, and mushrooms, and am open to suggestions.
Hello,
For the Veg Bake do you have to cook the vegetables before or can you make it up and cook it all together in the oven?
Thanks
Tammy
That seems like a lot of flour, which could make it very bland.
I’d cut back to 1/2 cup and 2 eggs.
Could you substitute panko crumbs for the parmesan cheese as a way to cut back on saturated fat since there is mozzarella cheese in it anyway? Or would it make it too dry?
Hi, this looks delicious, would I be able to use the frozen steam bags of broccoli and cauliflower?thanks
To make it gluten free what is the best flour substitute? Thanks for all you do so yummy recipes
Can you use frozen cauliflower
Yum! Not too dry. I did use half/ half instead of milk and added oregano. Thank you 🥰
I made it with gf flour and dairy free cheeses. It was delicious.
Hi Stella
I can’t eat cheese. Could mozzarella cheese be substituted with something Eg cottage cheese or can we totally omit cheese?
Hi Lin, I like that cottage cheese idea – i think it will work!
Delicious! I added just a few sprinkles of cayenne and everyone gobbled it up..
Hi Markey, sounds awesome with the spicy add in! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Wondering why you would think it’s necessary to par-cook those veggies? Baking them for 40-45 minutes should be plenty of time for them to cook along with the other items in the recipe. I have not tried this yet but will tonight…love all your recipe contents
Awesome! So easy to make, TY!
Hi Bonnie, so glad you tried it! Thank you for the kind rating!
I was looking for veggie meals for my 93 year old mom that she can freeze and just heat up and this really fit the bill! Very good! I used chili infused olive oil to salute the onions to a little extra zing. I also used Almond flour and it was delicious. I think I’ll make the sheet pan veggies and chicken next for a complete meal to portion freeze as well! Thank you for posting to Instagram where I saw this! MK
Perfect!! Glad your mama loves the dish too! Thank you for the kind feedback!
Thank you for the recipe. I loved the result.
Hi Galina, I’m so happy the dish was enjoyed! Cheers!
The whole family loved it! ❤️

Hi Trish, thank you so much for the kind feedback! I’m glad the recipe was to your liking!
Hi, wondering if you have used other veggies like carrots, leeks, eggplant? Can butter replace the olive oil for the rue?
Hi Lou, yes! it is so versatile so feel free to sub in those veggies!
Made this tonight so good!! Splashed on some Texas Pete hot sauce 😉❤️
Hi Deborah – mmmmm great tip with the hot sauce! Will try that next time!
