Hey everyone! This is a re-post from before I had followers. I figured this would be easiest since I am not feeling well. Sorry. Hoping to be back to normal soon. Enjoy!
My family LOVES sweet potatoes! I found a recipe for roasted root veggies in my Cooking For Baby cookbook (see April 2nd post), but I do it a little different. Sometimes I add carrots to my mix, but since my son (and husband) love the sweet potatoes, I usually only use them. It is a very simple recipe and very yummy! And when they're done (and cooled down), they make a great finger food for your toddler (or a practice "fork-stabbing" food), or a side dish for the family! We love the sweet, but salty/peppery taste of them!
Ingredients:
2 to 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 to 2 tbsp olive oil (depending on the amount of potatoes)
1 to 2 tbsp snipped fresh rosemary, minced (thyme also works good)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Place prepared potatoes on tray, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper and herbs over potatoes. Stir potatoes so that they are evenly coated, then spread out evenly on tray. Bake at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
Note: You can also add carrots, parsnips, white sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, or any other root vegetable to this mix. They all taste delicious! :) I've also made these with a mixture of fresh minced rosemary, sage, and thyme and they are even yummier!

I gave my son mashed sweet potato when he's 4 months old, and he didn't poop for 4 days!!
Though I was worried, I still keep telling myself that he's not gonna miss this delicious veggi in his life.
Yes, will definitely make yours and put him to try it again.
