Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup water, breast milk or baby formula plus more, if needed

Equipment

  • Baby Bullet
  • blender
  • Food Processor
  • sheet pan
  • foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450ºF.

  3. Let the sweet potato cool down enough to be handled. Then, peel the skin off.
  4. Place the sweet potato in a blender along with the paprika and liquid, and blend until smooth. Add additional liquid as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Notes

  • You can also steam the sweet potato, instead of baking it.
 
  • Try using other spices like cinnamon, allspice or nutmeg!
