Hasselback Organic Baby Vegetables


Hasselback Organic Baby veggies in Marinara Sauce. 

With our gardens ripening up to full production and your local farmers market full of fresh tender baby vegetables, your meals should be filled with beautifully colored organic vegetables. 

If your children are not big vegetable eaters allow them to pick their baby vegetables straight from the plant or from a bin at your local farmers market. 

You can help them Hasselback their veggies so they will steam quickly. Served with their favorite marinara sauce and cheese they might not even notice it is MISSING the pasta!


Your vegetarian eater will also be happy with their meal. Organic Fresh Baby Vegetables are so full of flavor and mild sweet tenderness you will never want to eat a mature vegetable again. Joking aside they are delicious.

I hope you enjoyed this cooking idea and will "Hasselback" your veggies!
