Carrots are one of the few vegetables that all kids seem to love to eat so it makes sense to serve them up on a regular basis. Not only are carrots easy on the budget and available year-round, they are packed with Vitamin A as well as being are an excellent source of Vitamin B and C.
Whether you dish them up, raw, steamed, baked or juiced, carrots are incredibly versatile so try some new ways with carrots to get the most of this kid-friendly vegetable:
Raw
When you’re looking for a snack that’s quick and healthy for the kids, you can’t go past a plate of vegetable sticks – carrot, celery, cucumber all work well – served with a tasty dip such as hummus or guacamole. Or try packing an assortment of veggie sticks and a little tub of cream cheese into the school lunch box.
Chances are her idea of what makes a good meal is a bit different from yours! You know the importance of giving your growing child the right kind of fuel. Yet despite your best efforts, getting your toddler to eat healthily can become a daily battle.
As your little one grows, your once-compliant baby becomes a toddler who knows her own mind – especially when it comes to meal times.
Try veggie sticks with dip
Stir fried
Carrots are a wonderful stir-fry ingredient. Firm enough to hold up under high heat, thinly sliced carrots cook through quickly in a wok and don’t collapse so add a dash of colour to any dish they are served in.
Try Chicken and asian greens stir fry
Roasted
A terrific (and very easy!) way to bring out all the carrot-y flavour of your carrots is to toss them whole into a baking dish when you’re roasting meat. The long cooking will caramelise the sugars in the sweet carrots to make them even more delectable.
Dry roasting carrots and then blending them into a puree is a great way to serve them up to your baby.
