From The Kids Cook Monday, “Crunchy carrots, sautéed onions and tangy feta cheese contrast beautifully in these stuffed baked potatoes. Kids will have fun poking holes in the potatoes before baking and crumbling the feta to stuff the potatoes during assembly.”
Ingredients:
4 russet potatoes
Salt, to taste
1/2 cup broccoli
1/2 cup carrots
1/2 cup green beans
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions:
Adult: Preheat an oven to 450 degrees.
Kid: Prick the potatoes several times with a fork. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt.
Adult: Place the potatoes in the oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Set aside to cool.
Adult: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Peel the carrots and cut them bite size. Cut the broccoli into bite sized florets and set aside with the carrots.
Kid: Snap the ends off of the green beans and set aside with the other veggies.
Adult: Add the vegetables to the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes, or until their color brightens, but they still maintain their crunch. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl, and set aside.
Adult: When the potatoes have cooled, slice them open.
Kid: Crumble the feta cheese between the 4 potatoes.
Adult: Place the canola oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until it starts to color. Add the garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes more, or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Transfer to the bowl with the vegetables. Stir to combine.
Kid: Divide the broccoli, carrots, green beans, onions and garlic between the 4 potatoes. Serve 1 veggie stuffed potato per person, sprinkle each with chopped parsley and enjoy!
