Get the recipe: Roasted Root Veggies + Thyme Baby Food
This golden yellow puree is filled with roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and beets and sprinkled with a little olive oil and thyme for a delicious and healthy baby puree meal!
Ingredients
- 4 carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato peeled and chopped
- 2 parsnips peeled and chopped
- 1 golden beet peeled and chopped
- 2 tsp olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup water, breastmilk formula or vegetable stock
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil or a silicon mat, or spray with cooking spray.
- Place the carrots, sweet potato, parsnips, golden beet on the baking sheet, drizzle them with the olive oil and sprinkle with thyme and mix together with your hands or a big spoon until everything is incorporated.
- Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until tender when pricked with a fork. If you cut larger pieces it might take you an additional 10-15 minutes of roasting time.
- Transfer all ingredients into a blender and add the liquid. Puree until smooth, roughly 1-2 minutes, adding additional liquid in 1/4 cup increments if needed. I had to add 1 1/2 cups of water to the puree pictured above.
