This recipe was developed by Heather Staller, a mom of two boys, ages 6 and 4, and cooking instructor specializing in bringing cooking into preschool classrooms. After college, Heather knew she wanted to be a teacher, but first followed her lifelong dream of going to culinary school. Teaching cooking combines both of her passions, and she truly enjoys introducing young children to the joys of cooking with fresh ingredients.

Herby Oven Fries with Fresh Herb Yogurt Dip

Ingredients
Fries
  • 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried herbs such as Italian herb mix
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs such as thyme and/or rosemary
Dip
  • 1 cup thick plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 to 1 cup fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, and chives
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Wash and dry potatoes very well. Cut potatoes on a diagonal into 1/4-inch slices. Cut slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Kids can help with a child-safe knife once potatoes are in slices. Place cut fries into a large bowl.
  3. Add oil, salt, and whatever dried and/or fresh herbs you are using. Toss well to mix.
  4. Lay fries out on a baking sheet. Place them at least 1/4-inch apart. If you don’t have enough room on one pan, place remaining fries on another pan.
  5. Roast fries for 10 minutes then flip each out and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until all sides are golden brown. Serve warm.
  6. For the dip, add yogurt, fresh herbs, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Serve with fries.

Chive & Cheddar Drop Biscuits

4/3/2020

Drop biscuits are so simple to make and a great recipe for your child to help you with. Have your child use safety scissors to snip the chives (adult assistance may be required) and let them get messy during step #3 when they mix the batter with their hands! Finally, they can top each biscuit with the shredded cheese.

​If you'd like more kid-friendly recipes and hours of crafts, games, activity pages, and more designed to make culinary herbs tasty and fun for your children be sure to check out Veggie Buds Club's "Herbs are Awesome!" box and eBook here.
