Roast the Veggies
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread sweet potatoes and carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. -
Mash & Mix
Transfer roasted veggies to a bowl or blender. Mash or puree until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed for texture. -
Add the Mighty Touch
Stir in crushed or top with whole Mixed Nut Butter Puffs to add crunch and a hint of Cinnamon! For extra flavor, sprinkle more cinnamon on top. -
Serve & Enjoy

For toddlers: spoon into a small bowl for a nutrient-packed side.

Make It Your Own
-
Try swapping cinnamon for a hint of nutmeg or ginger.

For older kids and adults, leave some texture instead of fully pureeing.
