• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
• Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded zucchini, grated carrots, unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Step 3: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly to create a compact, even layer.
• Step 4: Bake the veggie bars for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
• Step 5: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
• Step 6: Cut the cooled veggie bars into squares or rectangles and serve as a delightful snack or dessert.
