Add veggies to sauces

A clever method to up your veggie intake is to include extra vegetables in your sauces and dressings, especially if you have picky children. For example, like many meals with a sauce base, pasta sauces are an excellent way to increase the number of vegetables in your child's meal.

Add some chopped onions, carrots, bell peppers, and leafy greens like spinach to the sauces you're cooking, like marinara sauce. Rich sauces with an Alfredo-like texture can be made by pureeing roasted root vegetables. Consider beets, kohlrabi, turnips, purple sweet potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. For the most colorful dish ever, try making pesto with roasted beets. These sauces are perfect for batch cooking, you can easily store them in the fridge for 3-4 days without any problem.
