Acorn Squash + Ginger baby food puree is simple to make and easy to eat! Baby will love the squash's mild flavor mixed with ginger for a little zip to waken up their taste buds.
Ingredients
- 1 medium acorn squash
- 1/4 tsp fresh ginger root finely grated
- 1/4 cup water breast milk or stock
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.
- Cut acorn squash in half, de-seed and place on baking sheet, skin side down.

- When cool enough to handle, remove squash from skin and place in blender. Add ginger and puree for 1-2 minutes adding liquid in 1/4 cup increments, if needed, until you have your desired consistency.
