After about a month of eating solids, I wanted to start introducing more flavors to my son. Butternut squash is a great first food, and here it is roasted with a little olive oil and thyme for a tasty puree that any baby will love! Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Place butternut squash halves in a roasting pan, cut-sides up. Rub the flesh with olive oil, then sprinkle with thyme.
Step 3
Roast in the preheated oven until very soft and lightly browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Step 4
Scoop out the squash flesh and mash in a bowl.
Cook’s Notes:
Instead of mashing the squash in a bowl, you can place it in a food processor and puree it with a little breast milk, formula, or salt-free vegetable stock.
