INGREDIENTS
1-2 medium sized kumara
2 slices bacon, finely chopped
½ c grated cheese
METHOD
Preheat oven to grill on high. Line a baking tray with

Cut off the ends of the kumara and scrub clean. Slice

Cook bacon in a small pan until lightly crispy or grill in
oven on a tray.
Once kumara and bacon are cooked, place onto the
lined baking tray, top with bacon and grated cheese.
Grill until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Allow to cool before placing in the kids’ lunchboxes.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Top Tip: You can vary the toppings to suit your taste
buds. Other options are sundried tomatoes, olives,
capers, feta cheese, cooked meat or herbs.
