Vegetable Side Dishes
There’s an assumption out there that kids hate the taste of vegetables, and the only way to choke them down is to cook, puree, and conceal them in everything from gooey brownies to the breading on chicken nuggets. We disagree with this tricky strategy and prefer to serve our veggies out in the open. Admittedly, vegetables can sometimes be a tough sell with kids, but with our lovable recipes — Maple Pecan Carrots, Mommy’s Edamames, Smooshed Sweet Potatoes, and Perfect Parsnip Fries — even the pickiest eaters at your table will be tempted to try them.
