The recipe:

Ingredients

  • a zucchini
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

From 6 months: cooked zucchini baton

1. Wash your zucchini
2. Dry it in a clean wipe
3. Cut it into sticks
to guide you on the size of the sticks to be made: these must be larger than the size of your baby's hand and have a width of the size of your index
3. Cook your steam sticks
4. Add a net of vegetable oil

How do you know if the zucchini is cooked enough?
Take a piece you have just cook, put it in your mouth between your tongue and your palate: if you manage to crush it against your palate, it is that the cooking is good.
Be careful, however, not to cook your battons because they will have to be taken in hand by baby.

Around 8-10 months: grated raw zucchini

1) Wash your zucchini
2) Dry it in a clean paper
3) Grate

Once baby is more comfortable with the principle of the pliers (hold a food between the thumb and the index), do not hesitate to offer it this new format. In addition to being able to help him develop his grip, this will allow baby to discover the zucchini differently.

Now that baby knows the cooked and raw zucchini, why not integrate it into recipes? Find lots of zucchini -based recipe ideas: “Recipes based on zucchini”.
