It's Time To Get Fat. Real Fat!

Cheesy Summer Vegetable Bake

Add a savory depth of flavor to your next pan of roasted veggies by using our Goose Fat in this easy cheesy summer vegetable bake recipe. Topped with oregano and grass-fed cheddar cheese, these thinly sliced veggies are bursting with flavor after a quick roast in the oven. The Goose Fat mixes with the herbs and juices from the vegetables to create a delicious sauce at the bottom. Serve this cheese vegetable bake topped with fresh chopped basil for a bright and fresh side dish.

Make this Whole30 by leaving out the cheese. This recipe works great with all of our Poultry Fats as well as our Ghees.
