When introducing solid foods to your baby, finding healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-hold options can be a challenge. Cauliflower carrot potato tots are the perfect solution.

They provide essential nutrients, encourage self-feeding, and introduce your baby to a variety of flavors and textures.

Why Cauliflower Carrot Potato Tots for BLW?

1. Nutritious and Balanced:
   • Cauliflower: A powerhouse vegetable rich in vitamins C and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants.
   • Carrots: High in beta-carotene, which supports eye health and immune function, carrots add a touch of natural sweetness.
   • Potatoes: Provide complex carbohydrates for energy and act as a natural binder in this recipe.
2. Baby-Friendly Texture:
   This no egg tot recipe comes out soft on the inside with a lightly crisp exterior, making them easy for little mouths to chew. Their small, tot-like shape is perfect for tiny hands to hold, promoting self-feeding and fine motor skills. They are excellent if you have a little one transitioning from purees to solids, they come out very soft, making it easy for baby to chew and swallow.
3. Freezer-Friendly:
   I recommend freezing any leftovers you have. These are great to pull out on a busy day when you have no time to prepare food for baby, pair it with some fruit and avocado to make a complete meal. Great for daycare lunchboxes, on the go picnics or afternoon snack.

Substitutions:

Cheese- In this recipe I used shredded mozzarella, since it is naturally lower in sodium, but any type of shredded cheese will work. For a dairy-free version of this tot, you can swap the cheese for 2-3 tbsp of flour or a plant based dairy-free cheese of choice.

What you need:

Steamer 

Baking Tray
