Antje's Veggie Bake

When I arrived in Hamburg last month, my mum surprised me with her version of a plant-based meal. She was not sure at all what to cook for me and decided to be safe: She only used veggies, oil, some vegetable/yeast stock, salt and pepper. And I was gobsmacked how such an easy and simple meal can be so delicious.

Here is my mum Antje's plant-based veggie bake recipe:

Ingredients

amounts for 2 servings:

2-4 yellow potatoes, best to use a waxy/firm variety like Nicola or Kipfler (for the Australians)
1 sweet potato (Kumara)
2-3 spring onions
2-3 shallots
3 carrots
2 handfuls of green beans

the amounts can vary as you prefer and according to your level of hunger...

I usually dont eat onions or shallots, but in this case they did no harm. Not sure if that is due to being baked?! They were delicious in this recipe!

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees celcius.

Ingredients for the "Sauce"

Antje used 1 heaped teaspoon of a very good vegetable/yeast stock by Vitam R and blended it with 1/4 cup of water
she then added 1/3 to1/2 cup of virgin olive oil, depending on the amounts of veggies
1/4 tea of freshly ground black pepper
a pinch of sea salt

Blend all this until well mixed

Peal and Chop Veggies

peal potatoes and carrots and chop in pieces
peal shallots and cut in half
clean spring onions and cut into 1 inch long pieces
clean the beans and chop the ends off
pour all veggies in a big lidded container, add the oil/stock mix and shake until well combined
place the veggies on 1 or 2 backing trays, depending on how much you use. Do not over crowd the tray.
place the tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for approximatedly 50-60 minutes.

Serve!

pour into bowls, add some more freshly ground black pepper and enjoy!
