Naturally sweet and packed full of vitamin A and beta carotene, carrots are a fantastic vegetable for children but it’s not always easy to convince them to eat them regularly. Boiled or stir fried, they can be a little bland for kids so why not try some of these tasty recipes instead, all of which contain carrots. Shhh, the kids will never know!
