Sweetpotato Crackers 

Our deliciously crisp, savoury crackers are a snack kids are sure to love. One of our favourite lunchbox ideas, they’re a fun twist on a classic cracker recipe. 

Despite their simple ingredients, these homemade crackers are packed with flavour. A smooth sweetpotato puree blended with milk is the secret to these bite-sized beauties. A sprinkle of salt and sesame seeds adds a satisfying crunch. 

The dough is rolled thin before baking, creating light, crispy crackers with beautifully golden edges. They bake to perfection in just over 10 minutes, making all the preparation well worth the wait.  

Healthy, tasty, and versatile, our sweetpotato crackers will surely become a family staple.  

Sweetpotato Air Fryer Brownies  

These sweetpotato airfryer brownies are incredibly easy to make, making them a great kid-friendly lunchbox treat and a great option for busy parents. 

Air-fried sweetpotatoes mashed until smooth create a rich, moist base, while light brown sugar and melted chocolate add plenty of sweetness. A hint of vanilla and ginger enhance the flavour, and chocolate chips folded through the batter makes every bite deliciously gooey.  

After just 20 to 25 minutes in the air fryer, you’ll end up with a batch of fudgy brownies with a soft centre and rich chocolate flavour.  

Rich, indulgent and surprisingly easy to make, they’re a fantastic lunchbox idea. 

Flourless Sweetpotato Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Spiced Icing 

These soft and chewy cookies are a great way to introduce sweetpotato into a kid-friendly recipe. The mashed sweetpotato adds natural sweetness while toasted oats, raisins, and warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg create a comforting flavour. These cookies are also made with oat and almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour, making them a flourless baking option. 

After mixing the dough, letting it rest for an hour helps the flavours develop and allow the oats to absorb the moisture. The cookies bake until lightly golden on the edges while remaining soft in the centre. Topped with a sweet, spiced icing, they are a great lunchbox dessert or after-school dessert that kids are sure to love.  

 

Air Fryer Purple Sweetpotato Fries  

Almost too good to be true, our deliciously crispy sweetpotato fries are super simple to make and are a nutritious lunchbox idea.  

Skip the peeling and cut your sweetpotatoes into evenly sized fries before coating them in oil, cornflour, salt, and spice for an extra burst of flavour.  

Once your fries are done, they’ll be wonderfully crisp on the outside but soft and fluffy in the middle. Their vibrant colour should make them an exciting choice for children, adding a delightful twist to a familiar favourite.  

They’re a standout healthy kids snack because they’re colourful, easy to make and a fantastic alternative to regular fries.
