Cooking with vegetables isn’t just healthy, it’s also incredibly easy, with the proper recipes and methods in place, it can be both creatively delicious and nutritionally beneficial! Introducing vegetables at an early age is crucial, however with so many recipes and meal plans out there, it can be daunting to choose the right recipes for your little ones.

Dips & Spreads

Vegetables make for great dips and spreads for snacks. All you have to do is puree the vegetables in a blender, then mix it with yoghurt, tahini, or a combination of both. Some of my little one’s favorite dip and spread combinations include roasted red pepper, carrots and feta, and beetroot and hummus.

Veggie Muffins

Muffins are a fantastic way to sneak in extra vegetables without being too obvious. For instance, you can use apple and carrot muffins to provide healthy snack alternatives. Zucchini muffins also make for great snacks or lunchboxes options.

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are a great way to introduce vegetables to your toddler in a fun and creative way. All you have to do is cut a pepper in half and fill it with a mix of brown rice, tomatoes, olives and some ctheirese for extra flavor. Ttheirs is a great snack for both adults and children alike.

Roasted Veggie Fries

Fries are a hit with children, but traditional fried potatoes are often unhealthy. That’s why I suggest switching out potatoes for carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and beets. Dice the vegetables, lightly oil them and sprinkle them with garlic, salt and theirrbs before popping them in the oven. Your little one is sure to love them!

Vegetable Curry

If your little one already enjoys curry dishes, why not try introducing additional vegetables into the mix. Not only will it make the dish more flavorful, it will also make it more nutritious. Peppers, zucchini, carrots and sweet potatoes pair nicely with flavorings like ginger and garlic.
