I'm excited to share my go-to vegetarian recipes that keep little ones excited about veggies. Finding the sweet spot between tasty and nutritious can be challenging. These recipes, centred around a variety of colourful vegetables, not only deliver essential nutrients but also lay the foundation for lifelong healthy eating habits. Plus, by embracing vegetarian options, we're taking a small but impactful step towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
1. Hearty Vegetarian Cottage Pie - This Hearty Vegetarian Cottage Pie recipe is the perfect healthy, vegetarian option! As the nights get colder, my girls are always asking for warm comfort food and, as they already love my traditional cottage pie, this recipe is the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen and add extra veggies into our meals.
2. One-pot Vegetarian Lasagne - This dish takes just 25-minutes to make, saving you time in the kitchen. It's so full of flavour, and is bound to please even the fussiest of eaters.
3. Chickpea Veggie Rolls - If you're looking for a Veggie-packed lunchbox filler or snack for your child, this is the perfect recipe! This is also a great finger food for babies 6 months +
4. Veggie Quesadillas - Find this recipe in my Flask Recipes E-Book. I love that I can prepare the filling ahead of time. This recipe yields 6 portions of the filling so it’s best to portion them separately into your freezer pots so you can then remove exactly what’s needed.
5. Tuscan Bean Stew - My tasty Tuscan Bean Stew makes a hearty supper for the whole family. This nourishing dish is high in protein and vegetables and is always a firm family favourite. This meal takes no time at all to prepare and is a great one to double up for freezing!
