Experience a mind-blowing burst of flavours on your palate when you bite into this Baked Carrot and Spring Onion Open Toast.

Made of hot dog rolls topped with a delicious mixture of white sauce, carrots and spring onions, this open toast gets its fabulous flavour from chopped green chillies and hot and sweet sauce.

While this gives the open toast an irresistible appearance, the herby-spicy-crunchy taste of spring onions and the juicy sweetness of carrots give it an awesome flavour. Overall, this is a must-try recipe, which you will surely want to repeat!

When had with a bowl of soup it makes a satiating mini meal.
