These sweet and savory bites combine comforting autumn flavors with a soft, baby-safe texture. Red lentils and sweet potatoes team up to provide a hearty, iron-rich dinner that tiny hands will love to hold.
Boil or steam the sweet potato cubes and rinsed red lentils in a pot of water for about 12-15 minutes until both are very soft and tender. Drain them thoroughly.
Transfer the cooked sweet potato and lentils to a mixing bowl and mash them together until smooth.
Stir in the finely grated carrot, oat flour, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix until it forms a soft, moldable dough, then let it cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop small amounts of the mixture and shape them into little oblong croquettes (like thick tater tots). Place them on the baking sheet and lightly brush each with olive oil.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and firm on the outside. Let them cool completely before serving to your baby.
Yes! Just make sure to rinse them thoroughly to remove excess sodium, and mash them directly with the cooked sweet potato.
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven to keep them slightly crisp.
Absolutely. Just ensure you shape them into thick logs (about the size of two adult fingers) so they are easy for baby to grasp, and confirm that all ingredients have been safely introduced.
