About this recipe
Trio of sweet root vegetable purée Thermomix TM7 is the perfect homemade baby food recipe for parents who want to know exactly what goes into their little one's first spoonfuls. Sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips are steamed gently until fork-tender, then blended with a splash of breast milk into a silky, lump-free purée that babies adore. Searching for easy weaning recipes or purees for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 handles the steaming and blending in one bowl, so there is minimal washing up and maximum freshness. The natural sweetness of the root vegetables needs no added sugar or salt, making this a wholesome snack or meal for babies from the start of weaning. Batch-cook it on a Sunday, portion it into ice cube trays, and you have weeks of ready-to-thaw portions. This quick baby purée proves that a simple, seasonal combination of three humble vegetables can become something wonderfully creamy and comforting in minutes.
Preparation tips
- Cut the sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips into evenly sized pieces so they steam at the same rate and every spoonful of the purée ends up equally tender and sweet.
- Add the breast milk gradually while blending, checking the consistency between additions, so you can go from a thick first-taste purée to a runnier version for younger babies.
- Portion the cooled purée into ice cube trays or small freezer pots and label with the date; thaw single cubes overnight in the fridge and stir well before serving your baby.
Recipe variations
- Dairy-free adaptation: replace the breast milk with cooled boiled water, unsweetened plant-based milk suitable for babies, or the leftover steaming liquid for a fully plant-based purée with the same silky texture.
- Autumn variation: swap the parsnips for pumpkin or butternut squash when in season, giving the trio a deeper orange colour and an even sweeter, mellow flavour babies love.
