Getting kids involved in meal prep is a great way to teach them real-life skills and build their confidence and independence. Based on your child’s age and skill level, here are some ways they can help prepare the garlic Parmesan Brussels sprouts:

• Practice their math skills by measuring the spices. Or you can measure, and your child can dump the spices in the bowl.
• Toss the Brussels on the pan with the spices.
• Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Here are some other great way kids as young as 2 can help in the kitchen:

• Ages 2 and 3: Rip lettuce, pour ingredients in a bowl, help bring empty cups and plates to and from the table
• Ages 4 and 5: All the above + help measure ingredients, wash produce, set and clear the table
• Ages 6 to 8: All the above + use a child-safe knife (with supervision) to cut produce, crack eggs, wipe the counters, sweep the floor, load the dishwasher
• Ages 9 to 12: All the above + plan a simple meal, learn knife skills, wash dishes, take out the trash
• Ages 13 and older: All the above + plan and prepare their own meal

You know your child best. Assign mealtime responsibilities based on their skills and abilities, as well as your comfort.
