Baby’s Favourite Carrot and Beetroot Purée

Puréed carrot is one of the best first foods you can give to your baby, because it’s healthy and delicious with no need to add sugar. This recipe introduces the natural goodness of beetroot, which makes this puree not only taste great but even more nutritious! You can give sliced, steam-cooked sticks of soft beetroot as finger foods too. But, be warned, they may get purple fingers!

Carrot and Beetroot Purée

Ingredients:

1 carrot, peeled and chopped
136g of beetroot, peeled and chopped
Baby’s milk (optional)

Method:

Put the beetroot into a steamer over simmering water and cook for around 15 mins, add the carrot and cook for a further eight mins until both are tender.
Blitz to a purée in a blender or mash with a fork if you want your baby to try lumpier food. Add a splash of milk (or water from the saucepan), if necessary, to create a smooth texture. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times while blitzing to get a smooth consistency throughout.
Serve one portion and divide the rest between small containers or ice cube trays and freeze.
