Sweet Potato and Carrot Pie Without the Crust Recipe

Pureed sweet potatoes, carrots, raisins, and yogurt are cooked in the microwave for a meal your baby is sure to love. The dish is completely cooked in the microwave. Use a microplane to make quick work of grating the carrots.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 sweet potato
• 1 carrot, finely grated
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon raisins (optional)
• Grated nutmeg (optional)

Preparation:

For 8-12 month-olds or omit raisins for younger children:
In microwave oven, cook sweet potato at 100 percent for 5 minutes, or longer if it is very big. Prick the skin before cooking. Carefully remove the meat of the potato, and place in a bowl.

Mix in the carrot and yogurt, then the egg; blend until smooth. Add the raisins and nutmeg sprinkle, if you are using them. If the mixture appears dry, add another tablespoon yogurt.

Cook at 100 percent, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir, cook 1-1/2 minutes more. Let rest 2 to 3 minutes. This tastes best if served as soon as it cools. Serve with a dollop of cold yogurt.

Yield: 2 cups
