These warm, oven-baked bites are naturally free from all major allergens and made with simple, nourishing ingredients. Soft and easy to chew, they’re perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children.

You’ll need:

• 1 large, sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, for texture and fibre)
• A pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or dried parsley (optional)

How to make them:

1. Boil or steam the sweet potato and carrot until soft (about 10–12 minutes).
2. Mash together in a bowl until smooth but still textured.
3. Stir in olive oil, flaxseed (if using), and any seasoning.
4. Shape into small balls or coin-sized patties.
5. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until lightly golden.

Why we love it:

• Naturally top 9 allergen-free
