4/11/2015's post  except chicken, other vegetables can be changed according to child's prefrence.
4/11/2015 之前的做法,除了雞肉,其它蔬菜可以依孩子的喜好更改的。

烤雞肉串
材料:
5條雞柳/雞里脊
1/2茶匙低鹽醬油/天然醬油
1茶匙蜂蜜
幾滴麻油/香油
4瓣大蒜(剁碎)
胡椒粉適量

蔬菜佐料:
2條小玉米(切成小段)
6-8顆小番茄
一些洋菇

一些蜂蜜塗刷面

做法:
1 )把雞柳切成丁,每條雞柳大約切成4-5塊。
2 )把雞柳丁和其它調味材料,混合一下,放置冰箱醃至少30分鐘。
3 )把其它蔬菜切成丁。 (小番茄則不需要切) (你可以用其它蔬菜代替)
4 )準備6支竹枝或木製一次性筷子。
5 )將蔬菜和肉類交替叉入竹枝,排放在烤盤上。 (我有鋪不粘烤布/紙)
6 )送進已經預熱200'C的烤箱,烘烤大約10分鐘。
7 )然後取出烤盤,刷些蜂蜜翻一翻面,再烤5-10分鐘或稍微上色即可。



香脆番薯條
材料:
60克 熟的日本番薯/本地番薯
4克 無鹽奶油/橄欖油(1歲以下)
一顆 蛋黃
15克 太白粉/馬鈴薯粉

做法:
1)首先蒸熟或煮熟一​​​​條番薯,待涼後,稱出所要的重量。
2) 番薯乘熱時加入奶油/橄欖油,攪拌均勻。用過濾網過篩以便番薯麵糊更幼滑。
3) 加入蛋黃和太白粉,用湯匙攪拌均勻就可以了。
4) 把麵糊倒入一個膠袋子裡,剪個小洞,就擠出條狀/圈圈/任何喜歡的型狀在不沾黏烤紙上。
5) 送進已經預熱的烤箱170'C, 烤10分鍾, 然後轉換烤盤方向,以150'C烤10分鐘;或看見餅乾開始上色即可關火,燜5-10分鐘之後就可以看見餅乾比較均勻上色而不會烤得太焦。

備註:
給比較小的寶寶,可以不需要烤到完全乾燥。看見餅乾開始上色即可取出,餅乾帶少許酥軟。

給比較大的寶寶,燜5-10分鐘之後,烤乾透的餅乾是脆口的,帶著番薯和蛋香氣,微甜而不膩,好好吃。

小貼示:本人比較喜歡一次性把3-4條的番薯/馬鈴薯連皮放進熱水里煮熟。然後,稍微涼一些時就去皮壓泥,收在幾個拉鍊鎖袋,壓成扁扁的,收進冷凍庫。 (如圖下)每次需要用時,就很容易解凍,因為很薄。由於煮1條番薯用15分鐘的煤氣,煮4條番薯也是用15分鐘的煤氣。能省就省吧~
