Ingredients

  • 12 Yummy Dino Buddies nuggets
  • 8 small potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli
  • 1 large carrot, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 425 degrees. Lay the Yummy Dino Buddies nuggets in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
  • In a large bowl, combine potatoes, broccoli and carrots. Drizzle avocado oil, salt and pepper, and fold with a spatula until all vegetables are coated. Transfer to a roasting pan and cook at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes.
  • Once it cools, allow your kids to transfer the food to a plate and arrange in a fun and playful way. Perhaps they’d set up a field of Broccoli trees and a carrot path leading to a dinosaur pool of yummy ketchup or their favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  1. Allow your kids to pick which Dino Shapes will be on their plates - is today's lunch going to be all Brontos or some Pterodactyls too?
  2. Kids are great at drizzling & mixing, let them help arrange the pan.
  3. You can also get alphabet-shaped Yummy Dino Buddies and let your kids spell different words on their plates.
