Sneak Your Veggies: 7 Kid-Approved Nutritious Recipes
Take the hassle out of dinnertime with these seven recipes that cleverly add vegetables to keep your kids from saying “yuck” before, during or after a meal! They’ll never guess these tasty dishes are full of veggie goodness.
Avocado Fries
Slice avocado, dip in egg and then breadcrumb mixture, and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes until crispy.
Spaghetti Squash
Substitute spaghetti squash for regular noodles! Split the squash in half, roast it, then remove the “noodles” with a kitchen fork. Toss with warm marinara and top with Parmesan.
Broccoli-Cheese Soup
Simmer broccoli in chicken broth until tender, and then stir in cubes of your kid’s favorite cheese, milk, cornstarch, and a bit of garlic powder.
Summer Squash Casserole
Kids will never notice shredded summer squash when you combine it with cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and plenty of shredded mozzarella. Bake in the oven until hot and bubbly.
Mushroom Hamburger Patties
Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until chopped. Then combine with beef, salt, and any other ingredients your child loves in burgers. Form patties and cook as you normally would.
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
Shred zucchini and combine with flour, sugar, baking soda, spices, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and semisweet chocolate chips, then pour batter into muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
