Trying to get your kiddies to eat veggies? This is a great way to do that, without completely masking or hiding the vegetables. Plus, it is beyond easy to make carrot fries. You can make them sweet or salty. For the variety below, I chose to just do salt and pepper. We had rainbow carrots on hand, so that is what I used.
Cut 5 carrots.
Toss carrots in with about a 1/2 tbls olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Bake for 15-20 mins in a 450 degree oven.
Enjoy!
Chickpea Salad. We always have chickpeas on hand. My daughter just likes them out of the can-room temp. She'll eat half a can easy. My husband and I like to add a little something to them..We had a great tomato crop this year, so this was a super cheap dish for us to make. We just added about 6 small tomatoes cut up and a handful of basil and mint from the garden. Added about a 1/2 tbls of olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Yummy. It was also great the next day to take with my lunch!
You may be wondering what else is on this plate. We had lunch meat we had to use up, so it is chicken cheese roll ups. This is one of my daughter's all time favorite things to eat, and super easy to add to the yummy sides. Whole meal took about 20 mins including cooking time. Everyone was happy and full afterwards.
Yum!!
