Method
- Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 2 cm each, to ensure they cook evenly.
- In a pot, combine the diced sweet potatoes with the water or low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are very soft and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pot from heat and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.
- Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding additional water or broth as needed to achieve the desired consistency for your baby.
- If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor and blend briefly to combine.
- Allow the puree to cool before serving in small portions.
