Spuddie Bites

If you are raising your children on a plant based/vegan diet or your children have told you they don’t want to eat animals anymore or you have a toddler and you want to ensure they eat well and the food you include in their diet meets all their nutritional needs then send me an email as I am presently working on a fact sheet for ‘Food for Toddlers and Children’ and I will put you on the wait list and send it out to you as soon as it is completed. Email info@veets.com.au

There are also lots of recipes on this website for children. Pop in a search for ‘children’ or ‘kids” in the search bar and they will show up.

This recipe I share with you is an absolute winner and will fit nicely in any lunch box or part of a meal. Note it does not contain a complete protein so eat it alongside a grain or seed. So you could serve it with crackers and hummus or carrot sticks and hummus or with some veggies and tofu.

Spuddie Bites

You may want to double the recipe as they are yummy yummy yummy to the max.

Also get your toddler or child to help you make these and expect they will eat them as they go along so yes, make a double batch I would say. I ate 3 before they made it to the oven. Oops!!!

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)

1 clove garlic roughly chopped

½ large head broccoli (cut up in small pieces)

120g cooked cannellini beans

1 tbsp soy milk

Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Place the potatoes, garlic and ½ tsp salt in a saucepan and cover with water.
Bring to the boil then simmer for 3 minutes. Return to boiling then add the broccoli and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the potato is soft.
Mash the veggies with a potato masher or fork. Add a splash of olive oil and soy milk.
Mix in the cannellini beans and let the mixture cool a bit.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and then shape the potato mixture into log shapes - now they are spud bites.
Brush the spud bites with olive oil and bake in a 200°C oven for 15 to 25 minutes or until brown on the bottom and a bit on the top.
