003 – RECIPE – I Carrot Live Without You: Healthy Kids Series – Episode 1

Getting kids to eat their veggies can be maddening sometimes. Unless… they are munching on some french fries?!

#HealthyKidsSeries 

Kicking off my Healthy Kids Series with a “work smarter, not harder” recipe!  In this series, I’ll give examples of how I teach my kids to lead a happy, healthy lifestyle by eating right and staying physically active.  

Kid Tested, Mommy Approved  

Probably one of the easiest recipes I’ll ever post, but it pays dividends! The kids are happy because they get fries for dinner, and I’m happy because I didn’t have to raise my voice to get them to eat their dinner. My son even asked for seconds tonight!  After coming home from work, it is an easy dish to throw together. The kids love it; we love it. It is a win-win! 

A Carrot is Worth its Weight in Carats 

Carrots are a root vegetable loaded with tons of micronutrients. It is a great source of potassium, fiber, calcium, vitamins A, and vitamin C. It is also great for gut health, heart health, eye and skin health, oral health, and also helps reduce cholesterol.  

What You Really Came Here For

Ingredients

• Fresh Carrots 
• Garlic Infused Olive Oil (or Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Minced Garlic)
• Fresh Parlsey, Chopped
• Grated Parmesan 
• Salt & Pepper

1) Skin your carrots.

Excuse the ugly toe, I broke it :(

2) Chop them up into the traditional french fry shape.

3) Air Fry them at 400°F for about 6-7 minutes.

4) Toss them with the garlic olive oil and salt & pepper. Then top with parmesan and parsley.

Simple. Easy. Yummy! I hope your family enjoys this dish just as much was mine does.

Until next time,

Tami
