Thank you for asking this question!! I am always looking for new veggie ideas too, and here's a recipe that we just LOVE!
Kale chips are healthy and so DELICIOUS!!! My daughter is 2 1/2 and she LOVES kale chips, and asks for them almost daily. My baby is almost 11 months and she even puts little pieces in her mouth.
This is SO easy to make and Kale is relatively inexpensive-- a bundle is around $1.29 and makes at least an entire cookie sheet. (Btw I can eat an entire cookie sheet of kale by myself!)
I basically wash and dry it, take the leaves off of the stalk, (throw the stalks away), tear the leaves into "potato chip-sized" pieces, and toss with a little bit of olive oil (until coated but not soaked), pepper, garlic powder, and a tiny bit of salt. Then spread it over a cookie sheet, bake in a 350 oven for 12-13 minutes and voila! When the kale starts to brown on the edges and is crunchy, it is done. I like mine with just the right amount of crunch- if it is too soggy, it can have a bitter flavor. If it is too burnt, it sticks to the cookie sheet.
My friend's son, whose wont touch veggies, also asks for kale chips. Sometimes it can be hard to find, so my friend tried this "recipe" with spinach and said it was also tasty!
My older daughter also loves edamame, and the baby loves to suck on bell pepper strips and cut-up grape tomatoes. They both love de-seeded cucumber as well- I cut them into sticks.
I'd love to know if you try it- and if you guys like it!
