 Ingredients:

  • 1 slice whole wheat bread
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated carrots

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Flatten bread with rolling pin or your hand.
2. Spread peanut butter on bread and sprinkle carrots on top.
3. Roll bread up tightly and eat or slice into pinwheels.


Helpful Hints:

There are many delicious and healthy variations of a good old peanut butter sandwich. The extra fun of flattening the bread and rolling it up may sell your child on a fun sandwich that just happens to have a vegetable as an ingredient. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover how much flavor the crunch of carrot adds to America's favorite sandwich.

Safety Tip:

Graters may be difficult for young children to use. To avoid scraped fingers, a child might be better able to use a vegetable peeler to "grate" the carrot for this recipe, or for a green salad.
