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.

You can definitely steam everything. We've done steak, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, banana, avocado, and apple slices

I am interested In BLW also. I hope we have good results with it like other bee mommies too.

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

I've cut sweet potatoes into wedges and then roasted them in olive oil. They still fall apart a little but easier to hold than steamed, I've found. The olive oil keeps them moist, too.

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