This Baked Vegetable loaf is simple to put together with lots of vegetables and no butter/oil. The vibrant color comes from the vegetables used which can be adjusted according to your choice. Topping of sesame seeds gives a great crunch. The loaf remains moist for long, you can also warm it in a microwave before serving. Baked Vegetable loaf is tasty and healthy compared to most deep fried snacks or cookies.
