The most delicious and healthy sweet potato, zucchini & bacon slice! This freezer-friendly slice is perfect for the whole family!
Ever since Will started solids (which was a year ago now… where the heck did that time go!!??), I’ve been on a mission to smuggle as many vegetables possible into his meals… which brings me to this fabulously healthy sweet potato, zucchini and bacon slice…!
This is basically a variation of my all-time favourite zucchini slice, as well as my carrot & zucchini slice. But hey! What’s the point in changing something too much when it’s super delicious as is! This version is just as quick, easy and yummy!
If you’ve been reading my little blog for a while (firstly THANK YOU… and I’m sending you big cyber hugs), you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Will eating pretty much whatever Dave and I eat. I spend wayyyy too much time in the kitchen already without having to worry about cooking seperate meals. And that is pretty much the main reason I love this healthy sweet potato, zucchini & bacon slice so much. Yep, it’s perfect for an easy midweek dinner or a quick and easy ‘grab out of the freezer and reheat lunch’ AND we all like it. Winner. Winner!!
Ooh yes, sorry I should have mentioned that this little thing is completely freezer friendly! It makes a massive slice, so cut any leftovers into slices and freeze in an airtight container or ziplock bags. Easy-peasy!
And so that my lovely friends, is the easiest, yummiest AND healthy sweet potato, zucchini & bacon slice… perfect for little (and big!) people!! xx
