The rolled oats in this recipe function as a nutritional substitute for breadcrumbs. Oatmeal has more fiber and protein, fewer carbs and sugars than breadcrumbs. For a deeper flavor, you can even lightly roast the oats in a pan with no oil or some coconut oil. Delish!
Prep Time
1 hour and 50 minutes
Method of preparing the gratin:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Layer the veggies in an 8x12-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.
-
Remove the foil and pour the cream over the veggies. Bake for another 30 minutes.
-
Grind the oats to make them into crumbs. Mix the crumbs with the oil and seasoning, and spread over the gratin.
-
Return the dish into the oven for 10 minutes on the top rack to get a nice roast. Alternatively, use the broiler.
