Healthy Carrot Stick

Healthy Carrot Stick

My 'picky eater' son also love this snack. He doesn't even know there's carrot in it (*bonus point there) Recipe worth trying.

For a change, I cut the dough in fun shaped to put in my son's lunchbox

I have slightly altered the original recipe using ingredients that i have on hand.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/2 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 of tsp salt
• 1/2 cup of carrot, shredded finely
• 2 Tbsp of olive oil
• 2 tsp of brown sugar

METHODS: 

1. Combine the flour, cheese, baking powder, salt and sugar and stir to combine.
2. Add the carrots to the flour mixture, using your hand to coat the carrot pieces with flour.
3. Add the oil and knead to bring the dough together.
4. (until the flour absorbs the oil. add extra tsp of oil if the mixture seems too dry and not coming together).
5. Roll the dough into about 1/2 inch thick (I prefer to roll it a bit thinner to get the crisp texture). 
6. Cut the dough into sticks. You can even use a cookie cutter to cut it in a fun shape (as shown in my son's lunchbox above).
7. Bake on a preheated oven of 190 degrees Celsius until done.
