How to make it

1. In medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. In a steamer basket, add in the sweet potato cubes, carrots and chickpeas, place basket over boiling water and cover. Steam for 12-15 minutes or until all ingredients are tender when pricked with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Reserve steamer water. 
2. Transfer all ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes or until smooth, adding in additional reserved steamer water in 1/4 cup increments if needed.

To make into a Toddler Dip – follow directions as stated above, but increase the chickpeas to 1 cup. Then add into the blender 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon cumin and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Blend as directed. Serve with cut veggies and whole grain pita bread wedges.
