Looking for a veggie your little one will actually eat?! You need to try these garlic parmesan carrot fries!
These were a random recipe experiment in the hopes of getting my son to eat more vegetables and a HUGE win! The whole family loved them, and they’re super simple to prepare. My son prefers them with ketchup, as he does just about every savory food he eats lol
BABY LED WEANING
This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.
For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!
ALLERGENS
This recipe has dairy.
STORAGE
I made these in a small batch, so we did not have leftovers. If we did, I would store in the fridge for 3-4 days then move to the freezer for 2-3 months max.
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Parchment paper – I buy precut online because I find dealing with a roll of parchment to be the most annoying thing and it’s just so much easier to have it cut for you! Comes in a variety of sizes.
Air Fryer – this is the toaster oven/air fryer we use. Pricier, but we LOVE love love it.
