Ingredients

• 2 cups Carrots
• 1 medium Sweet potato
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the carrots into small chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potato and cut it into small cubes.

Step 3

Place the diced carrots and sweet potato into a medium-sized pot and add enough water to cover them by about an inch.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until both the carrots and sweet potato are very tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Drain the cooked vegetables, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked carrots and sweet potato to a blender or food processor, and add the reserved 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.

Step 7

Blend or process until the mixture is completely smooth. If the puree seems too thick, add a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 8

Let the puree cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in portions for future use.
