Cheesy Carrot Bites
Cheesy carrot bites are similar to a cheesy meatball, and a great way to get extra veggies in to kids. They are wonderful for baby led weaning and feeding toddlers!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup grated cheese I used mozzarella
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Dash of salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using the smallest hole size of a box grater, shred your carrots finely into a dish cloth or paper towel. Remove any excess moisture by squeezing and twisting the dish cloth or paper towel.
- Add shredded carrots to a large bowl. Add in the grated cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, pumpkin, and spices and mix.
- Roll the mixture into small balls (meatball shapes - using a cookie scooper helps) and place on a greased baking sheet or Silpat.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges start to brown.
- Pair with ranch/ketchup/hummus/favorite dipping sauce.
