Sweet potato for baby led weaning
Sweet potato is one of my favourite ingredients to use for baby led weaning. Versatile, filling and packed full of healthy nutrients – sweet potatoes are a fantastic alternative to starchy potatoes and can be used in a huge range of recipes.
From pancakes, to sweet potato fries to healthy veggie burgers, we try to incorporate sweet potato into baby’s diet at least once a week.
Sweet potatoes can be grated, sliced, mashed or spiralized – the options are endless!
Why choose sweet potato for baby led weaning?
- Rich in vitamin C
- They contain tons of vitamin B6
- A good source of potassium and magnesium
- Great for heart and brain health
- Amazing fuel source for energy

Can you freeze these ?
I would love to know how you feeze these please
@Bobbie, I freeze mine. I freeze in 2’s or 3’s. Let defrost then heat in the oven. Hope this helps x
Trying these for my 14 month old tonight. I’m freezing the rest (uncooked). Wrapped them in wax paper individually then put in a freezer-safe plastic bag then in a container. So, hopefully they still cook well once thawed.
Can you freeze these? If so how?
I love all your BLW fritters, I’ve made quite a few ! They are so easy to whip up and alter to whatever you have in the fridge. I also love how well the freeze! They make the perfect on the go snack. The biggest change up I did was to subsitute 2/3rds of the flour for iron fortified baby cereal to add in some extra iron. They held up really well! Big hit with the little one
Thanks for your comment Kylie. I am so glad you liked them!
I am about to add a new recipe for tuna and sweetcorn fritters so please keep an eye out for these 🙂
Awesome! I Included fresh onions and used whole spelt flour. Thanks for the recipe!
