College students are always looking for late-night snacks during those long homework and studying nights. The problem is, they’re usually unhealthy snacks or meals that are fast or cheap. A vegetable bread is a great midnight meal and a healthy and delicious way to survive those long midterm study sessions this semester.
This is a really simple recipe that can be made in 15 minutes or less for someone always in a rush. It is also a healthy snack that can be reheated during the week for a dinner or lunch on the go. There are three main ingredients that are needed for this recipe: a loaf of bread (preferably a loaf of bread without any seeds); any type of vegetables you prefer (you can normally go to the food store and get packages of cut up, peppers and onions which are especially yummy for this recipe); and either butter or oil, whichever you prefer to put on the bread.
The first step is to cut up the vegetables. Use your judgment, there is no specified amount of vegetables to put on this bread, it’s a recipe that is to your liking. The more vegetables, the better tasting the bread be.
Next, cut the loaf of bread in half vertically, you want to have it open so it is easier to place all of the vegetables. After you cut the bread in half, you want to make sure that you put the oil or butter on the bread. Put a decent amount on the bread to give it extra flavor after it goes into the oven. You can also add some spices to the bread, to make it even tastier. Garlic is great with some salt and pepper.
The final step is to put the bread with the vegetables in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. The bread only needs to be cooked until it looks hot or the vegetables are bubbling. This normally only takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on the oven. When you are done cooking the bread in the oven, wait for it to cool for at least 5 minutes and it is all yours to eat!
Remember, this is a healthy and delicious meal to eat for a midnight snack as well as during the day when in a rush to get to class.
