Description

Discover these sweet potato tots baby will love! Full of healthy sweet potato – they make a great side dish for baby led weaning lunches or dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 grams sweet potato boiled / steamed
  • 1 egg
  • 40 grams breadcrumbs
  • 20 grams sharp cheddar
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • 2 tbsp plain flour

Instructions

  1. Peel your large sweet potato and chop into smaller pieces. Boil or steam for around 20 minutes until soft.
  2. Once cooled, add to a bowl alongside 1 egg, 40 grams of breadcrumbs, 20 grams of finely grated sharp cheddar, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
  3. Mash the sweet potato with the back of a fork and combine with the other ingredients, add 2 tbsp of flour and a sort of dough will form.
  4. Using a spoon, pop the dough into a piping bag, freezer bag or into cling film and roll into a thick sausage shape.
  5. Pop in the freezer for around 30 minuets to help solidify the 'dough'.
  6. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 170C and prep a baking tray with baking paper and a little cooking spray.
  7. After this time, get the 'dough' out of the clingfilm/freezer bag onto a chopping board and slice the sausage shape in half lengthways before then cutting into 2cm tots width ways.
  8. Pop the tots onto the baking tray and place in the oven for 15 minutes. After this time, flip the tots over and bake for a further 5 minutes. The sweet potato bites should have turned golden brown but will still be soft on the inside.
  9. Leave to cool fully before serving to baby.

Notes

300 grams of sweet potato is approximate. Choose a large sweet potato and if it weighs anything between 200-300 grams after peeling, you're good to go!
