Notes
- For some extra flavor depth, use coconut milk (full fat or light) as the liquid in this recipe. My kids loved that!
- To Store: Store leftover puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the puree.
- To Freeze: Spoon puree into silicone baby cube trays or airtight glass containers and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat when ready to serve.
- Other Cooking Methods:
- Boiling: Place the sweet potato chunks in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until they're fork-tender, which usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your chunks. Steaming: If you prefer steaming, place the sweet potato chunks in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam until they're soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
