Looking for a yummy baby finger food?
We created these Veggie Slice Fingers for The Party Issue of The 4 Blades magazine. They were featured in the section for Baby Finger Foods… nutritious, easy to hold and low in salt. In their simplest form (as pictured) these are simply eggs and vegetables. Of course, you can also add in ham / bacon / cheese and season with salt and pepper if you are serving them to adults.
You’ll be impressed how perfectly the vegetables cook in your thermo mixer! Just tender, not mushy at all. This is one of those simple recipes that you’ll be grateful for your thermo mixer!
Polly loves these Veggie Slice Fingers, and we featured them in the podcast all about her 1st birthday foods. We have done Baby Led Weaning with Polly, so she’s had finger foods from the beginning (actually, her first food was actually a lamb cutlet… when she didn’t have any teeth!)… but these are great in that they are firm enough not to be squished apart in little hands, but soft enough that they are easily broken apart.

Veggie Slice Fingers
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 32 fingers
Description
As cute and colourful as these Veggie Slice Fingers look, they are just made of veggies and eggs. Nothing else. Perfect for little people. To adjust to an adult palate, consider seasoning with some salt and pepper, adding in some bacon or sprinkling with some feta cheese. They come highly recommended by Bec and Joe’s baby Polly, who is 10 months.
