For enhanced flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling. Roasting intensifies their natural sweetness. Always check the temperature of the purée before feeding it to your baby. When introducing new foods, follow your pediatrician's guidelines, and start with small portions to observe for any allergic reactions.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Place the peeled and halved sweet potatoes in a small saucepan.
02
Step
30 mins
Add enough water to completely cover the sweet potatoes.
03
Step
2 mins
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to medium and let the sweet potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, approximately 25-30 minutes.
04
Step
3 mins
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, carefully transfer them to a food processor or an immersion blender cup, making sure to reserve the cooking water.
05
StepBlend the sweet potatoes until completely smooth. Gradually add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water, blending continuously, until you achieve your desired consistency. For a thinner purée, add more water; for a thicker consistency, use less.
06
StepAllow the purée to cool completely before serving or storing. You can store the purée in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. For easy thawing, freeze in small, individual portions.
