🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Baked until soft, these fritters bring together the natural flavor of potato and carrot, and because they can be held they may support your child's self-feeding skills. Carrot provides beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, while egg adds protein to the meal. Baking instead of frying keeps the snack lighter and easy to digest.
Maiyko's note
Preparing them without added salt helps your child discover the natural taste of vegetables; keep the texture soft and appropriate for their age.
