Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed sweet potato, mashed carrot, finely chopped rosemary, garlic granules, egg, Greek yogurt, oat flour, and olive oil to a large mixing bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth, cohesive mixture.
Prepare Mixture: Sprinkle some extra oat flour onto a plate to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon, portion out the mixture onto the floured plate. This step helps to avoid the bites sticking to surfaces during cooking.
Cook the Bites: Place the prepared bites into your air fryer basket, ensuring enough space between them for air circulation. Cook at 180ºC (356ºF) for 12 minutes until golden and cooked through. Alternatively, arrange the bites on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC (356ºF) for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serve: Once cooked, serve the sweet potato and carrot bites warm. Add a dipping sauce of your choice and sprinkle with fresh parsley for added flavor and freshness.

Notes

Ensure sweet potatoes and carrots are well mashed to get a smooth texture that’s easy for babies to eat.
You can substitute oat flour with another gluten-free flour if desired.
These bites freeze well; store in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer or oven before serving.
Add mild herbs like parsley or basil to vary the flavor depending on your baby’s preference.
Use organic ingredients for a healthier snack option.
