During last 5 minutes of cooking, add sausage; air fry 5 minutes or until crisp, shaking basket once. Cool completely. If you do not have an air fryer, feel free to complete this step in the oven.
- Alternately thread potatoes, sausage and beets onto 12 toothpicks.
- Alternately thread fresh vegetables, such as cucumber, bell peppers, and tomatoes onto 12 toothpicks.
- Thread peaches onto 1 end of remaining 8 toothpicks; spread both sides of peaches with cheese, sprinkle with granola and dust with powdered sugar. Makes 8 mini peach crumble pops.
- Fill your lunchboxes with 2 sausage skewers, 2 veggie skewers, and 2 mini peach crumble pops each. Include honey mustard for dipping and the Sun Chips for a salty crunch! Refrigerate up to 2 days.
Notes
Dietitian Tips:
- You can use leftover proteins and veggies from last night's dinner for this lunchbox. Feel free to get creative with what you have on hand!
- If you don't have bento boxes, use whatever you have on hand! Reusable or plastic containers and baggies work perfectly.
- Don't have an air fryer? No problem! You can use your oven to cook up veggies and protein, it just may take some extra time.
To cook your own beets:
- Wash thoroughly.
- Peel the outer skin with a vegetable peeler.
- Cut into 1x1 inch pieces.
- Follow the same instructions as above for the potatoes. You can even cook them at the same time!
