Shivani Gadhvi-Vadera

Loaded Veggie Nachos

Having grown up around the most exquisite home cooks, Shivani has always been inspired to cook and experiment in the kitchen. However it wasn’t until Shivani became a mother, and her daughters weaning journey started that ignited the desire to really take this hobby into a more serious direction. Understanding ingredients and what part they play in our diet especially for a growing child became so much more important than just the flavour it provides.
The lockdown gave Shivani the time to start documenting her recipes and share them with those who wanted inspiration in vegan and veg cuisine not just for toddlers but for the whole family.

Today’s recipe is the traditional Mexican loaded nachos with a baked and veggie twist. Additional vegetables mixed into the key component enhancing the snacks nutritional value. Great for the entire family especially for getting extra vegetables into our fussy toddlers. Fun food with great flavour!
