Why choose sweet potato for baby led weaning?

I am a huge fan of using sweet potato in the recipes I create thanks to its nutritional goodness. We try to offer baby sweet potato at least once a week and find it so versatile in the way it bulks up family meals such as curries, soups and casseroles.

We’ve used it to make pancakes, burgers, fritters and so many other fun and healthy recipes.

Sweet potatoes can be grated, sliced, mashed or spiralized – the options are endless!
