Carrot French Fries
Children who crave for French fries will enjoy this nutritious alternative. Carrot fries are packed with vitamins, but have the crunchy appeal of traditional French Fries. Using a crinkle-cutter, slice carrots into fry-shaped pieces. Allow children to mix the carrot sticks with a tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. If desired, add 1/4 teaspoon of thyme (kind of a herb) or another dried herb. Spread the fries on a lined baking pan and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
