Get the recipe: Cauliflower for Baby: Puree & Baby-Led Weaning
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- pinch seasoning (see notes)
Instructions
- Steam: In a medium saucepan, bring 2″ of water to a boil over medium heat. Place the cauliflower into a steamer basket, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Reserve steamer water. Let cool slightly.
- For Baby Puree: Place the cooked cauliflower into a blender or food processor and add a pinch of dried oregano, or any spice/herb you are using. Turn on the blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes on medium. If the puree is too thick, add 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid at a time, until you achieve desired consistency.
- For Baby-Led Weaning: serve to your baby in an age-appropriate way - either in bigger florets or chopped into smaller pieces. You can also puree or mash the cauliflower and serve to your baby on a self-feeding spoon.
