Method
- 1
Steam the carrot and sweet potato fingers for 12 to 15 minutes, until they squash easily between your finger and thumb. Let them cool.
13 min - 2
Put the avocado, peas, lemon juice, rapeseed oil and mint in a bowl.
- 3
Mash with a fork for a chunky dip, or blitz in a small processor for a smooth one.
- 4
Taste, and add a little more lemon if you like. Do not add salt for babies.
- 5
Serve the dip with the veg fingers. Babies from 6 months can scoop it up with the fingers or a pre loaded spoon.
- 6
Choking note: the veg must be soft, never raw, for babies and under 2s. Squash the peas well. Eat the dip on the day, as avocado turns brown, though lemon helps.
