What you'll need
- 1 whole carrot
- ½ cup (or about ½) sweet potato

- Peel carrot and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Place both vegetables on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- While the vegetables are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add ground beef and 1 Tbsp of water. Stir and break up the meat while cooking. When meat is no longer pink (about 5 minutes), drain and place to the side.
- Place cooked carrot, sweet potato, ground beef into a blender or food processor and blend for 30 seconds. Add dried ginger and lemon juice and continue to blend until mixed to a consistency appropriate for baby.
