I can't imagine a world without snacks. The trick is to find snacks that are relatively healthy, but bring everyone to the table. With my little chefs, It's a winning snack when it includes a dip, so I try to give them healthy dips so they actually get a little boost of nutritional value in every bite.
This recipe for roasted sweet potatoes with beet yogurt dip is both beautiful and healthy. It's pretty low carb, gluten free, and can be as spicy or mild as you like. It includes different flavorings for the fries, which I appreciate. My husband loves the spiciest recipes I can find, while the kids and I have a little more medium-hot tastes. When I made this the first time, I also included some halved Brussels sprouts to the roasting pan. The seasonings worked perfectly for both vegetables, and once the kids saw both together, it was a smorgasboard of healthy snacking.
