A recipe that grows with your baby 👶➡️🧒 !
For your baby, serve this delicious puree as is.

Could you roast the veggies instead of steaming them?
Yes, that would be a great option and the hummus would have a more profound and somewhat sweeter taste.
I just made this for my toddler and he is all over it! The sweet potatoes I had on hand were bad, so I just omitted them. I also don’t have a steamer or food processor so I just boiled the carrots and used a blender. I used quite a bit of reserved water from the carrots to get it to fully blend, this recipe is versatile and a great way to pack in extra nutrients!
Love how you made this recipe work with what you had on hand! And so happy your little guy like it:)
Looks delicious! I will make this for my baby and he will definitely like this like your other recipes. Thank you for sharing!
Looks yummy! How long will this last in the freezer?
Made this tonight as dip for my 1 year old. She devoured it, surprising dad and grandma. Served with toast strips. This is the first recipe of yours I’ve tried, and it’s definitely a keeper.
So happy to hear that she loved this!
