For a fun twist, try adding different vegetables like peas or sweet potatoes. Ensure that the bites are cooled to a safe temperature before serving to your toddler.

🥕 Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 small potato
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the vegetables thoroughly.
  2. Cut the carrots and potato into small, baby-appropriate pieces.
  3. Place the diced vegetables in a steamer basket over boiling water.
  4. Steam for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  5. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add olive oil and garlic powder, and mash until desired texture is achieved.
