Easy Vegetable Bake
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. If you love this recipe, you will love my Creamy Pesto Vegetable Bake or Mexican Chicken Vegetable Bake.
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. You can also add in chicken for added protein. A great recipe on the website is my Tuscan Chicken Broccoli Bake and my Greek-Style Vegetable Bake.

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℉ (or 175℃). 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.
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!
Do you have the recipe for the chicken and veggie sheet pan dish
Awesome! So easy to make, TY!
Hi Bonnie, so glad you tried it! Thank you for the kind rating!
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
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!
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!
I made it with gf flour and dairy free cheeses. It was delicious.
Yum! Not too dry. I did use half/ half instead of milk and added oregano. Thank you 🥰
Can you use frozen cauliflower
To make it gluten free what is the best flour substitute? Thanks for all you do so yummy recipes
Hi, this looks delicious, would I be able to use the frozen steam bags of broccoli and cauliflower?thanks
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?
That seems like a lot of flour, which could make it very bland.
I’d cut back to 1/2 cup and 2 eggs.
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
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.
Try brussel sprouts, asparagus, zucchini and some cherry tomatoes.
Delicious. I add mozzarella cheese and cheddar. Delicious!!
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.
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!!
