I recently did sweet potato fries - cut into strips, added a bit of olive oil and roasted about 15-20 min.

They still fall apart a little but easier to hold than steamed, I've found. The olive oil keeps them moist, too. yoursilverlining on "Preparing foods for BLW" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-foods-for-blw#post-1149326 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:37:10 +0000 yoursilverlining 1149326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ You can steam. We usually just sauteed veggies up in a skillet with a little butter. The pieces were small enough to cook quickly and stay soft. ETA: if you want to roast veggies, I would roast large chunks and then cut the cooked chunk down to size for your baby. Very small pieces tend to get tough and overcooked roasting Kimberlybee on "Preparing foods for BLW" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-foods-for-blw#post-1149323 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:35:08 +0000 Kimberlybee 1149323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am interested In BLW also.

We've done steak, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, banana, avocado, and apple slices jodyblair on "Preparing foods for BLW" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-foods-for-blw#post-1149302 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:24:27 +0000 jodyblair 1149302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We started LO with avocado and banana a few weeks ago and I'm ready to try some new foods with him, especially veggies. I cut a sweet potato into rounds and baked them but I must have overdone them because they dried out really fast. Could I steam a sweet potato instead? Any suggestions for other veggies to try and how to prepare them? We did try steamed carrots last week (and he loved them!) but he broke out in a rash not long after having them, so I'm going to hold off on those for a while.
