Do you know any good veggie-based recipes that even kids will love?

Nuggets and fries are almost always a hit with children. How about making a veggie-based and healthier version of this fast food favourite? My recipe consists of potatoes, corn, chilli, onions and carrots. You will also need an egg, flour, breadcrumbs, canola oil and seasonings. Here's a rough recipe I use. I don't really use measurements and for this recipe, it's so easy, just follow your own preferences. - Boil the potatoes till they are soft enough to mash. - Add the rest of the veggies, which have been cut into smaller pieces, into the mash and incorporate well, with salt, pepper and whatever seasonings you like. - Shape them into balls or patties and after that dredge them in the following sequence: flour, egg, breadcrumb (I use Panko). - You can either bake these in the oven at 200-220degC for 15-20 minutes or shallow fry them in hot canola oil till golden brown. Sometimes, I add cheese in the middle of the veggie nuggets as I'm shaping them and after it's cooked, cheese oozes out beautifully :) As for the fries, since normal potatoes are used in the nuggets, I substitute them with sweet potatoes. Again, it's super simple to make. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into long strips. Coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and whatever herbs you like. Spread evenly on an oven pan and bake in 220degC for about 20-25 minutes.
