This is a fun recipe that I found on a great kid-friendly website called Paleo Parents , it is not only fun to make it is beneficial foods for you and your family!
Ingredients:
Bodies :
4 small (long) sweet potatoes, washed and peeled
Legs:
3 Brussels sprouts (cut in half after cooking)
6 asparagus tips
6 apple slices
6 banana spears
Stuffing:
10 pepperoni slices
10 small raw cheese slices
Faces:
6 raisins
4 nuts
2 small onion wedges
2 small pepper wedges
2 pepper tips
4 small rosemary sprigs
Other:
2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
2 Tablespoons honey
1/3 cup melted grass-fed butter
1 Tablespoon of coconut oil
Directions:
Melt the butter in two separate small pans. Preheat convection oven to 400 F. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice into each sweet potato every 1/4 inch but don’t cut all the way to the bottom. Leave a larger slice on the head (fat) end. Coat the bottom of the baking dish with coconut oil. Brush each potato with the butter. Bake until very soft all the way through (at least 1 hour).
While they are baking, get all the other body parts ready:
Add the honey to one of the butter pans. Add the minced garlic to the other butter pan. Prepare and set out all the little parts to arrange on each plate just before serving. Cut up or fold the pepperoni and cheese slices to sizes that will fit into the potato cuts. Get the cream cheese handy. Cut the apple and banana pieces and have them ready to arrange as legs. When the potatoes are 99% done, steam your Brussels sprouts and asparagus.
When the potatoes are done you have to work quickly to assemble them so they don’t get cold before serving. I put them together one at a time and took pictures, but doing it for real you would set up an efficient assembly line. After assembly, I generously drizzled hot garlic butter on the savory ones and hot honey butter on the sweet ones.
Enjoy!
