Ingredients

  5. 5Pour the mixture into the bowl with the veg and mix thoroughly so everything is well coated.
  6. 6Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe dish.
  7. 7Cook for about 16 to 20 minutes at maximum power.
  8. 8Once done, check that it's cooked through and let it cool slightly.

Extra tips

  1. 1If you'd rather not use flour, you can add 3 extra egg whites instead.
  2. 2If you don't have whole oat flour, cornstarch, chickpea flour, or another flour will work nicely.
  3. 3This is a tender, moist bake because the courgette releases quite a bit of moisture.
  4. 4It has a naturally sweet note from the courgette and carrot, so be sure to season well to your taste.
