These roasted potatoes in wedges, sticks, or cubes, are perfect for baby led weaning from 6 months and beyond! They are so easy to make, and are the perfect finger food that you can serve as a side dish for both baby and the whole family.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium baking potatoes
  • 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp each garlic powder + onion powder (see notes)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Peel the potatoes if you'd like. I keep the peel on. Cut potatoes into 6-8 wedges each.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil and any seasoning to evenly coat.
  4. Spread potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between potatoes so that they roast evenly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, slipping once about halfway through baking. Let potatoes cool before serving to baby.

Equipment

Notes

  • For potato sticks/fries or cubes: cut potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch thick sticks or cubes. Roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  • Seasoning: You can use any seasoning you'd like, or none at all. The above is a pretty generic flavor that can go with most things, but feel free to use what you like, up to 1 tsp total. Some suggestions:
    • Garlic + rosemary
    • Italian seasoning
    • Oregano + thyme
    • Garlic + paprika + thyme
  • Crispy roasted potatoes: Typically I like the oven a little warmer for super crispy roasted potatoes, but for the youngest eaters, I keep it a little lower to avoid edges that are too crisp. As your little one grows and gains experience, feel free to bake at 425°F and use a bit more oil for crisper potato wedges.
