These Carrot and Cheese Waffles are a perfect baby led weaning finger food. especially for babies starting their journey. They use the finely grated carrot and potato, which is formed into a delicious waffle, and they are guaranteed to be a winner with kids of all ages.<\/p>\n

When I first started weaning Oscar, my number one aim was to ensure he loved vegetables of all shapes and sizes. Carrots can be a tricky one because they can sometimes be super hard, but when grated into a waffle they instantly become a safe food for baby led weaning.<\/p>\n

Cheese<\/h3>\n

This recipe uses cheddar cheese but you can also swap out for goat cheese or reduce the amount down too. As a baby and toddler finger food, it really doesn’t get better than these. Carrots, onion, fresh thyme, potato, garlic, and cheese cooked together until fragrant and delicious.<\/p>\n

Adult Finger Food<\/h3>\n

So this is my jam! I cook food that is not only amazing for babies but is also super for adults too. We had these waffles with a side of sticky salmon and steamed broccoli and it was delicious. In fact, my kids ended up fighting over who got the last one, so they will definitely be made again and again. They would work really well as an adult finger food at parties too! Just make small little bites (exact same as the baby finger food ones), but when serving add a sprinkle of salt and a good dollop of garlic sour cream! YUM!!!! Both me and my girlies will testify to their deliciousness \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

But I don’t have a waffle iron!<\/h3>\n

Don’t despair! You can still make these carrot baby-friendly waffles! Scoop a heaped dessert spoonful onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle over a little rapeseed oil and bake in the oven at 180\u00baC (350\u00baF)\u00a0 for about 20 minutes until crispy.)<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/p>\n

Can you Freeze them?<\/h3>\n

YES! Cook them, add some parchment paper between each one and freeze in a lunchbox. You can actually reheat in the toaster, straight from frozen! YES, I kid you not! Just pop it down a few times until the waffle is heated the whole way through. If you have made small ones though, just reheat in the oven or on a dry fry pan<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/p>\n

The ingredients in these amazing finger food waffles are all in season and are all available in your local Dunnes Stores. Plus, they are all super inexpensive and part of the Everyday Savers range so great for your pockets too!<\/p>\n

You can use any veggies, but I like this combo the best, and if you make your own baby-led weaning creations Please don’t forget to tag me #babyledfeeding on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
