All Vegetables – Vegan friendly
Gluten-free with Oats – Perfect for those like me who cannot eat a lot of pie crust but still love the crunchy feel.

Tips

Make sure all veggies are cooked until tender.

Variations

To give more consistency to the crumble you can also add breadcrumbs.
To make it more crunchy you can add shelled and chopped walnuts or pistachios
Vary the vegetables used, depending on your taste and the season.

Tomato, zucchini and capsicum gratin

Storing the Vegetable Savoury Crumble

Store it for up to 3 days in the refrigerator covering it.
To freeze, I recommend omitting the crumble topping and freezing the cooked veggies separately. When ready to use, thaw them and prepare the crumble from scratch.

How to Serve the Savoury Vegetable Crumble

I love to serve this as a side with a main full of protein. For a meatless dinner, I love to serve it with halloumi, caciocavallo or saganaki. Another option is serving with a dip like tzatziki or hummus or alongside a high-protein vegetarian soup.

If you’re a fish lover you can serve alongside the crispy squid with aioli or air-fried salmon.

Meat lover? I haven’t tried it but I recommend it alongside the chicken escalopes with tzatziki!

3 potatoes
4 carrots
3 courgettes
2 peppers
5 tomatoes

Let the cooking water evaporate, to prevent the crumble from having too much liquid at the bottom.

Add the salt and pepper, and start working the mixture with your hands, until you get large crumbs.

Dry the vegetables from any excessive water.In a pan, greased on the bottom, arrange the vegetables and cover them with a layer of crumble, compact and uniform.
Bake for 30 minutes at 180 ° C, until it is golden on the surface, and serve hot.
