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.
