Carrots-In-a-Blanket
I like to keep steamed baby carrots in a silicone treat pouch in my pocket. One day, I realized how similar they were in shape and texture to little sausages. I immediately started envisioning a healthy version of pigs in a blanket. Knowing that bread and carrots would be the most boring combination of flavors just on their own, I started thinking about other blanket-shaped foods, and my mind went to a snack that I often eat and serve in the form of a rollup: turkey! The result was a soft and delicious bite-sized snack that was reminiscent in flavor to a cobb salad and the mouthfeel was like a juicy pig-in-a-blanket. Let’s talk about how to make them!
Ingredients:
6 Baby Carrots
12 Carrot Sticks
3-6 Slices of Turkey, to personal preference
Directions:
Steam the carrots in the microwave using a small dish or steaming sock
Cut the turkey in half
Roll 1-2 pieces of turkey around each baby carrot
Use a knife to pierce through the rollup
Insert a carrot stick into the slit
Enjoy!
