BLW: Sweet Potato Fingers [Fries]

I was thinking of some alternate carbs to offer at dinner...NooNoos every night seems like overkill and rice is such a mess to clean up. Then I remembered a classic from their early days. Sweet Potato Fingers

My girls loved sweet potatoes as a puree and I couldn't wait to make them as fingers when they were a bit older. These are easy to make, healthy, and a perfect side for the family and baby led weaning (BLW). We introduced them when the girls were 7 months old.

Ingredients:

• Sweet potatoes (I used a hybrid of orange and white ones)

• Olive oil

• Seasoning (optional) - cinnamon, salt, pepper

Steps:

Peel the sweet potato

Cut into up into 1/2 inch thick pieces, or approximately the size of your finger.

Toss with olive oil and desired seasonings

Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil (less mess and an easier clean up)

Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes or until soft, rotating half way through
