Mezze Platter

It is always a great idea to serve a Lebanese mezze platter at children’s gathering. Make some homemade hummus, baba ghanoush, and labneh dip. You can either bake some fresh pita bread or get some of your local bakeries. To serve some pickles on the side, ferment some beetroot and carrot in apple cider vinegar. To assemble put the hummus, dips in medium-sized bowls, add the pita bread, and pickled beetroot.

Bibimbap 

Roast your favourite vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant with a touch of olive oil. To make the sauce, mix honey, tahini paste, salt, soy sauce, lemon juice, chili flakes, and pepper. To assemble the bowl, add cooked brown rice, a handful of veggies, crispy baked tofu, edamame beans and drizzle the sauce. You can use sprouted rice for increased brown rice nutrition.

Use Daawat, the best basmati rice to cook your favourite dishes. You can check more healthy brown rice recipes on their website. 

Loaded Rice Cakes

Children love the munch and crunch, that is why rice cakes are the perfect snack. Place three rice cakes on a serving dish. On the first one, spread some hummus and top with sundried tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves. On the second one, spread fresh guacamole and top with some chili flakes. On the third one, spread some cream cheese and top with caramelized mushrooms and fresh dill. 

Zucchini & Cheese Rosti

Mix some grated zucchini, salt, pepper, ground garlic, thyme, basil, flour, parmesan cheese. Scoop the batter and shallow fry in olive oil until golden brown. Serve hot with a side of Greek yogurt & mint dip. 

Dips & Chips

To make the classic guacamole dip, mix avocado, coriander, salt, pepper, lemon juice, onion, tomato. Blitz in a blender for 5-10 seconds for a smoother consistency. To make hummus dip, mix hummus with basil pesto and top with pomegranates and mint. Bake some sweet potato, beetroot chips with a touch of olive oil, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper while it is hot. Serve these delicious dips with a side of chips to dunk into it. 

Make these delicious appetizers for your kids and they will not reach out to the bag of chips again.
