When it comes to lunchboxes, it is tricky to get enough veggies into the kids. This rainbow veggie slice is designed to help with that! It’s also gluten free!
There are only so many veggies we can cram into dinner time. Trust me: I’ve tried. You need to try and space your veggie offerings out across the day so as to get more into the kids and make dinnertime less stressful.
The best thing about something like this rainbow veggie slice is that it involves no precooking of the veggies and it is quick and easy to make. I do it in a loaf pan because I like the way it slices. The shape is also fabulous for lunches.
This is a make and freeze kind of recipe, you won’t be eating it all at once, so why not slice it up and freeze to make lunches easier another day? It’s all about making things easier!
And it’s absolutely packed with our favourite veggies. You can mix them up a bit, swap them out for others that you love, or make it as is. Just try to keep the volume of veggies the same.
If you want to reheat this for breakfast or dinner, it’s perfect for that (just think, if you have it for breakfast you’ve basically ticked all your veggie goals for the day already!)! I like to do slices in the sandwich press. It’s also awesome cold for a picnic!
It’s an amazing way to clear out the fridge of any veggies that are getting a little sad and create something yummy at the same time. You can also experiment with different cheese- I’ve used cheddar, but fetta has happened before and is super yummy.

April 12, 2019 at 6:15 pmCould I cook this in a pressure cooker, and just brown it off under the grill?
kidgredients says
April 13, 2019 at 8:41 pmI guess you could, I’ve never tried it in the pressure cooker! But let me know how it goes!

March 26, 2019 at 9:34 amDo you grease the pan?
kidgredients says
March 26, 2019 at 1:57 pmI actually use a silicone pan, if you’re using a normal pan, greasing it would be a great idea, or even lining it with baking paper.
Elbie says
January 3, 2019 at 4:39 pmJust want to know if you cut the cherrie tomatoes in half and can you just steam broccoli for a few seconds?
kidgredients says
January 4, 2019 at 10:02 amOh dear, I just saw that is missing from the instructions. All the veggies are diced or chopped. 🙂
kidgredients says
January 4, 2019 at 10:04 amI don’t steam the broccoli, as it cooks to the point we like in the slice- still slightly crunchy.
Nadia says
November 11, 2018 at 2:41 pmLooks great! What’s the best way to defrost and reheat it?
kidgredients says
November 12, 2018 at 7:45 amHi Nadia! If I’m organised, I defrost overnight and then eat it cold or reheat in a sandwich press. If I’m not organised…I reheat from frozen in the microwave. 😉
