Ingredients

  • For the dough:

  • 4 cups of flour

  • 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon of water

  • Pinch of salt

  • For the filling:

  • 3 pounds of sweet potatoes

  • 1 cup of milk (cow milk, lactose-free, coconut milk)

  • 5 tablespoons of butter

Directions

  • Prepare the dough: Start by sifting the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil, water, and a pinch of salt. Knead the ingredients together until you achieve a medium soft dough consistency.
  • Chill the dough: Wrap the dough in transparent foil and place it in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to chill. This step will make the dough easier to work with and help it hold its shape when baking.
  • Prepare the filling: While the dough is chilling, it's time to prepare the filling. Peel the sweet potatoes and boil them until they are tender. Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes and mash them into a thick puree. Add the milk and butter to the puree. This creamy filling will be the delicious center of our sweet potato star bites.
  • Shape the star bites: Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 0.2 inches thick. Use a metal ring or a regular cup to cut out circles from the dough. Place a spoonful of the sweet potato filling in the center of each circle, then pinch the edges of the dough together to form star shapes, ensuring the filling remains securely inside.
  • Preheat your oven to 356° (180°C). Arrange the sweet potato star bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them for approximately 20 minutes, or until a nice golden color. Once baked, allow the star bites to cool slightly before serving.

These Sweet Potato Star Bites are a delightful snack for your little ones but also a nutritious option that you can feel good about feeding them. Whether enjoyed as a snack, a side dish, or a fun finger food, these bites are perfect for toddlers and babies alike. Give this recipe a try and watch as your little ones gobble up these tasty treats with joy.
