Complete Meal Yummy Veggie Bake

Complete Meal Veggie Bake

1. Pre-heat oven to 375.

2. Put in baking pan:

some canola oil
then
• 2 – 3 large carrots, washed and cut up
• 2 nice size onions, cut up (not too small – how you want to feel them in your mouth)
• few stalks celery washed and cut up, no tops (not the leafy part)
• 1 bag frozen broccoli florets, defrosted in microwave
• ½ bag frozen collard greens (they come already chopped in the bag) defrosted in microwave
• 1 box frozen spinach defrosted in microwave
• artichoke hearts, about ½ bag Trader Joe’s frozen defrosted in microwave OR 1 can (drained and quartered lengthwise) - better still, CAN artichoke hearts from supermarket, quartered lengthwise)
3. Mix this stuff up a bit

4. Then add:
• 2 slices Ezekial bread (really whole –grain, doesn’t even use flour!) broken up and scattered over the top
• about 2 T? extra virgin olive oil or more if you want
• seasoned breadcrumbs sprinkled over all
• olive oil (extra virgin) over the top of it all

5. Then on top of it all, 6 Gardein “chicken” fillets, frozen, cooked for like 2 – 3 minutes (it says on package) in pan with a little oil, so can cut up. – Buy them frozen, in health food store or some supermarkets – if don’t have, substitute the Gardein “chicken” scallopinni. Scatter the cut up pieces on top

6. Cover tightly and bake for about 40 minutes.

7. Remove from oven. Uncover. Mix it all in. Enjoy. (I like it even better cold from fridge for days!)
