Servings 4 babies
Ingredients
- 1 whole broccoli
Optional
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Baby-led Weaning Broccoli
- Wash broccoli and cut the broccoli florets so that there is enough of a stem on each floret that the baby can hold onto it.
- Place water in a pot, add steamer basket with broccoli in it and bring to boil.
- Cook for about 6 minutes. The broccoli is done when it is easily pierce-able with a fork.
- Optional seasoning - If you want to season it, place it in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil (a or little butter), lemon juice and garlic powder.
- Optional - to make it even more delicious place them on a baking sheet and in the oven at 400°F/ 200°C for 15-20 minutes so they absorb all the flavors and become delicious. Make sure they are still squish-able between your finger
Broccoli Puree
- Follow the same steps to steam the broccoli.
- Place the broccoli florets in a food processor and process until you have a smooth puree. You most likely wont need any additional water because the broccoli will be moist but in case you do add it teaspoon by tsp.
- Store in airtight container up to 3 days or in the freezer in ice cube trays.
