100 Baby-Led Weaning Recipes
Method
Preheat the oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C).
Place all the dry ingredients and cheese in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Using your fingers, rub in the butter and cream cheese until you have a crumbly
mixture.
Using a fork, incorporate the milk into the mixture until it holds together loosely.
Knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured surface, then – using your hands – shape
it into a rough circle around 3/4 inches thick.
Cut the dough into any shape you choose (fingers, circles etc).
Put the shapes onto an ungreased baking sheet and cook for 15 to 20 mins, until
golden in colour.
Cool to a safe serving temperature – you should get around six to eight biscuits using
this recipe… plenty for you and baby to share!
84 Twice Baked Sweet Potato
Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato
2 tbsp cooked chicken, finely chopped (optional – the potato will taste great without
meat if your baby follows a vegetarian diet)
1 tbsp natural yogurt
1 tsp fresh chives, chopped finely
1 tbsp Cheddar cheese, grated
Method
Preheat the oven to 375 deg F (180 deg C).
Pierce the potato with a fork and bake until tender (around 45 mins).
Cut the potato in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh, leaving around 1/4-inch
remaining all the way around.
In a bowl, mash the potato with the yogurt and chives, then stir in the chopped
chicken.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the shell and top with the grated cheese.
Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and golden.
Cool to a safe serving temperature.
85 Gourmet Sweet Potato Cubes
Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 pinch each of turmeric, cinnamon, paprika and cumin
1 tbsp olive oil or pure coconut oil
Method
Combine the spices with the oil (if you wish, you can heat a small saucepan and
‘toast’ the spices for a minute or two first, to really bring out their flavour!).
Toss the sweet potato cubes in the spiced oil mixture until thoroughly coated.
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (180 deg C).
Place the sweet potato cubes in a roasting tin and cook for between 20-30 minutes
until tender, shaking the tin from time to time to turn them.
