Chopped Junior - Season 4 (2016)

The young chefs find odd gifts from the sea in the appetizer basket. In the entree round, something sweet and something bitter make for a balancing act. Then, chocolate ravioli desserts are a challenge in a hectic final round.

The kids must use ground beef and curly fries as appetizer ingredients; seafood for the second basket; a stuffed cookie cup for dessert. YouTube personality Justine Ezarik, food writer Alison Roman and chef Marcus Samuelsson serve as judges.

The junior chefs must make a holiday meal for the judges: chefs Sandra Lee, Marc Murphy and Christian Petroni; duck and veggie appetizers; stockings and wreaths made from common foods; whimsical and sugary desserts.

Creative cheese presentations and a protein spread for appetizers; a strange pink pickle and a crispy, snack food in the entrée round; a marshmallow mishap in the dessert round. Judges include chef Maneet Chauhan; TV hostess Daphne Oz (The Chew (2011)) and actor Tyrel Jackson Williams.

Chefs Aarón Sánchez and Jet Tila and comedian Iliza Shlesinger judge; a cheesy sandwich in the appetizer basket; a root vegetable and a sweet Latin treat for the entrée basket; watermelon dessert for the final basket.

Four kids compete to impress judges Lazarus Lynch, Marc Murphy and actor James Maslow; ground beef and chocolate for round one; a misleading ingredient, that looks like a giant baked potato, in the entrée round; a red, white and blue snack for dessert.

Radio host Angie Martínez, actress Chelsea Peretti and chef Geoffrey Zakarian judge the competitors' appetizers, made with wildfire lettuce and fluke; lemon meringue pie is used for the entrée round; baking and ice cream in the dessert round.

Bok choy and bacon in the appetizer round; an old-fashioned pinwheel protein for the entrée round; cottage cheese for the dessert round; actress Maia Mitchell, and chefs Marc Murphy and Luke Thomas act as judges.

The junior chefs must create appetizer dishes with lamb; creamy soup and pretty pasta in the entrée basket; gray chia pudding in the dessert basket; chef Amanda Freitag, actor David Alan Grier and TV hostess Brandi Milloy are the judges.
