This is a great healthy lunch or snack idea for kids. Just don’t tell them that they are good for them and they will eat them by the hand full. This kids recipe is a great food user. What I mean is you can take any old vegetables lying around in your refrigerator and use them in this recipe.

Cut the pastry into rounds. Press the pastry rounds into a well-greased small patty cake tin with 24 holes. Press a fork into the pastry to stop the pastry from swelling during the cooking process. Bake the pastry shells for 10 minutes until lightly browned.

To make the filling, combine the finely chopped tomatoes, grated zucchini and carrot, diced onion, garden peas and kidney beans. Mix all the ingredients well and place them into each pastry shell. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top of the pastry shells and bake in the oven at 360F for 10 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted. You can serve these fun kids snacks hot or cold.
