1. Oven-roasted chicken Bolognese
Kids of all ages love Bolognese, and this hands-off version is our current favourite. The best thing about bolognese though is its potential for concealing veggies. Follow the base recipe as is, but feel free to add in grated carrots, courgettes or finely chopped baby spinach (right at the end for this one). Once the sauce is combined with pasta and topped with some Parmesan, no one will have any clue it’s so veggie-laden.

3. Adzuki bean brownie cakes
Don’t we all, kids and adults alike, just want to eat cake? These gluten-free brownies use beans in the base, which in our minds makes them feel all kinds of wholesome. They might not be packed with veggies, but they’re a great, lower-sugar alternative when you feel like something sweet.

4. Everyday egg frittatas
These little frittatas are not only delicious, but they’re versatile enough to conceal pretty much any vegetable. Chopped baby spinach, blanched and chopped broccoli, peas or grated carrots or courgettes would all be disguised by the eggy mix here, so go wild!

5. Breakfast smoothies
Nothing new here, but smoothies will always be one of the best vehicles for sneaky veggies. Take any of these and blitz in baby spinach or avo, and you’ve got yourself a powerhouse smoothie that likely tastes like a milkshake.
