When my teen daughters get home from school in the afternoon, they are usually very hungry. Now that they’ve become more health conscious, they often prefer something that has vegetables in it!

Today I’m sharing an afternoon snack that’s both yummy and helps my whole family eat more veggies! I made the recipe I’m sharing today as an afternoon snack for my daughters last week, and we all loved it!

For the snack, I heated up a batch of McCain® Veggie Taters™ (I got the Potato, Broccoli & Cheddar variety) in the oven for about 15 minutes. The taters are delicious creamy breaded morsels of potato, broccoli and cheese.

My family sometimes has”appetizer” dinners on weekends (with veggies, cheeses and meats). My daughters think the McCain® Veggie Taters™ would be a great addition to our appetizer charcuterie boards!

I topped the McCain® Veggie Taters™ with diced tomatoes, red peppers and avocado, warm corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

The combination of the McCain® Veggie Taters™  with the toppings was quite delicious! It’s like a yummier, Tex-Mex version of loaded baked potatoes! These also can be spiced up with hot sauce or diced jalapeños if you like.

I also served this dish as a healthier main dish for dinner one night last week. We loved it!

This McCain® Veggie Taters™  snack was easy to put together. It was also more delicious that the usual after-school foods I serve. A plus is that the McCain® Veggie Taters™  are a healthier snack option.

I like that the McCain® Veggie Taters™ don’t have artificial flavors, are made with real vegetables and include just enough cheese to really boost the flavor. The McCain® Veggie Taters™ combine the fun and taste of traditional tater tots with veggies and cheese.

I plan to head back to my local ShopRite this week to look for McCain® Potato & Cauliflower Veggie Taters™ and McCain® Potato, Spinach & Asiago Veggie Taters™.

I found the McCain® Veggie Taters™ at the ShopRite in my town.

They were easy to find in the in the frozen food aisle in the “potatoes” section.

I actually went back to my ShopRite to get more McCain® Veggie Taters™ so I could serve them as a side dish with dinner one night, too.
