What makes this recipe so healthy and nutritious:

• Carrots- carrots are such an "everyday vegetable" that we tend to forget all the health benefits they bring to the table. This tasty vegetable is packed with beta carotene (your body converts it into vitamin A), vitamins B6 and B7(biotin), and potassium. They are also incredibly tasty, versatile, and low in calories.
• Oats- this recipe uses oats instead of flour. They do not only make this recipe gluten-free, but they also make this cottage cheese carrot slice more nutritious. They are high in protein and fiber, and contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, some of them being magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium and vitamin B1.
• Cottage cheese- this recipe calls for creamed cottage cheese. This type of cheese is high protein, and low-fat, which makes it a great choice for weight loss. Also, it contains probiotics, which are great for gut health, and a lot of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin B.
• Eggs-eggs also contribute a lot in making this recipe super nutritious. They are high in protein, contain healthy fats and high amounts of vitamins A, B2, and B12, calcium, selenium, and many more.

Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, this recipe is gluten-free. However, if you are gluten intolerant, you should definitely make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.

What can I use instead of carrots?
My favorite substitute for carrots in this recipe is zucchini. But keep in mind that zucchini contains more water, so you will have to grate it, put some salt on it, and leave it for a couple of minutes to let the water out. After that, you will have to squeeze all the extra liquid out and mix it with the rest of the ingredients.

How should I serve this Cottage Cheese Carrot Slice?
Well, that´s the best thing about this recipe. You can eat it hot,cold, for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as a main dish or as a side dish…the possibilities are endless. But my favorite way of eating this is having a warm slice of it topped with a scoop of sour cream and a salad on the side. Try it :)
