Name: Healthy carrot and courgette slice for children recipe
Ingredients: 1tsp olive oil; 1 large onion; ¼ cup of olive oil; 4 small courgettes; 3 carrots peeled and grated; 1 ½ cups of grated cheddar; ½tsp Salt; 2 black pepper; 4 Eggs beaten; 1 ½ cups of self-raising flour

Ingredients

1tsp olive oil
1 large onion
¼ cup of olive oil
4 small courgettes
3 carrots peeled and grated
1 ½ cups of grated cheddar
½tsp Salt
2 black pepper
4 Eggs beaten
1 ½ cups of self-raising flour

Method

STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease a baking dish. Put the onion into a food processor and blitz it into a paste. Tip the paste into a mixing bowl and add the olive oil and stir in well. Add the grated courgette, carrots and cheese to the onion. Add the salt and pepper to the beaten eggs and stir into the vegetables. Add the flour to the mixture a little at a time, stirring well as you go.
STEP 2
Tip the mixture into a loaf tin. Smooth out the surface so it is even. Put the loaf tin into the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. To test if the loaf is cooked, insert a metal skewer into the middle of the loaf; if it comes out clean, then your courgette and carrot loaf is ready. If not, bake a little longer.
STEP 3
Remove the loaf from the oven and cut it into 12 slices. Lift the slices onto a plate using a cake slice and serve with a little fresh salad and a little dish of tomato sauce or tomato chutney.
