Mini meatballs filled with sweet potatoes and oregano make for a scrumptious meal for baby and toddler. Tender and juicy, these meatballs are a perfect finger food for babies just learning to self-feed. Serve with cauliflower rice and steamed broccoli for an even more veggie packed meal.

Serve with cauliflower rice and steamed broccoli

How to make it

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray or line a baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, place all of the meatball ingredients. Mix all ingredients with your hands or fork, until well mixed.
