Remember, for veg-resistant children a sniff, a lick or a nibble is good progress – praise it. Once the meal is over, praise, praise, praise – but don’t mention health. During the meal, avoid any pressure and keep the mood fun. Watch the video above together and repeat the rally cry “this roast is mine” with as much enthusiasm as you can muster, and ask the children if they want to help Chef Andrew to defeat the veggies.īefore you serve the roast you might want to watch the video again, and as you serve, repeat the rally cry: “this roast is mine”! As you or your kids eat the vegetables, you can say things like: “you’re going down veggies” or “let’s defeat them”. Tell your kids that as part of Eat Them to Defeat Them you have a challenge called Rebel Roasts and ask if they would like to watch the video.

We have suggested these little potato cakes below for something different – but that’s up to you – you do your roast, your way (but with plenty of veg).
