This beet puree recipe will brighten up your little one's plate and is so easy to make. Get the bibs ready, this colorful vegetable makes a beautiful (and messy) first food!
0 Preheat the oven to 375°F.
1 Place beets on one side of a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fold in half over the beets like a book. Pinch the edges to fully seal the package (this way they will steam in the oven while they roast).
2 Bake for 45 minutes until fork tender.
3 Open the foil, and let roasted beets cool until you’re able to touch them.
4 Use a ziplock bag or gloves to cover your hands and peel the beets. This prevents your hands from getting stained. The skin should slide right off.
5 Cut and puree beets in a food processor until smooth. Add water little by little if you need to thin out the puree.
6 Serve or make a baby food combination with another puree.
