Cooking is a fantastic way to engage kids in a creative and educational activity but it can sometimes be worrying to have small children around an open flame. If you're looking for flame-free recipes that children can easily prepare, here are 15 delicious dishes they can make without using a flame.
Let kids explore their artistic side by arranging a colourful assortment of fresh fruits, that they can cut into shapes and sprinkle with chaat masala for an extra tang.
Provide a variety of sliced veggies, like cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers, along with tortillas. Kids can assemble their own wraps with a dollop of cream cheese or hummus.
Layer yoghurt, granola, and fresh berries or chopped fruits in a glass to create a visually appealing and nutritious breakfast.
Set out an array of nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips, and sev. Kids can create their own personalised trail mix by mixing and matching their favourite ingredients.
Combine crushed graham crackers, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Kids can press the mixture into a pan and chill it to enjoy a creamy and no-fuss dessert.
Freeze ripe bananas, then blend them until smooth for a healthy and creamy homemade ice cream that kids can enjoy plain or customise with their preferred toppings.
