Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 6-8 oz)
  • 2 medium carrots (about 4-6 oz)
  • 1 cup filtered water (or as needed for blending)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Start by thoroughly washing the sweet potato and carrots under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the vegetables with a vegetable peeler, then chop the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes and the carrots into ½-inch slices. Smaller pieces cook faster and more evenly, ensuring a smooth texture for your baby.

Step 2: Steam Until Tender

Place the chopped vegetables in a steamer basket set over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot with a lid and let the vegetables steam for 15-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a fork easily pierces through both the sweet potato and carrots. Steaming preserves the natural nutrients, giving your baby a healthy, flavorful purée.

Step 3: Blend Into Purée

Transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender or food processor. Begin by adding ½ cup of filtered water and blend on high until smooth. For a thinner purée, gradually add more water, one tablespoon at a time. The result should be creamy and lump-free, perfect for babies just starting solids.

Step 4: Cool Completely Before Storing

Allow the purée to cool to room temperature before transferring it into your storage containers. This step prevents condensation from forming inside the jars, keeping your baby’s food fresher longer.

Step 5: Store Using Moonkie Silicone Baby Food Containers

  • Portion smartly: Use 8oz containers to store larger batches for later use, and 4oz containers for single-serving meals.
  • Seal freshness: Each container comes with an airtight lid that locks in flavor and nutrients while preventing leaks.
  • Label easily: Write the date and contents on the lid using a dry-erase marker for quick identification.

Step 6: Refrigerate or Freeze

  • Store the purée in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months to always have a wholesome meal ready. To serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm gently before feeding.
