Instructions
- Peel carrots and chop into relatively even chunks. The smaller the carrots, the quicker they will cook.
- Fill a pot with about an inch of water and place carrots in a steamer basket in the pot. Bring water to a boil, cover and steam carrots for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. The size of your carrots will determine how long they’ll need to steam.
- Transfer cooked carrots to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Gradually add breast milk, formula or water as needed until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately or transfer carrot puree to airtight storage containers to be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for 3 months.

Notes
- To Store: Puree can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, I recommend freezing the baby food.
- To Freeze: Portion carrot puree into silicone ice cube trays or freezer safe containers. Once frozen solid, you can transfer cubes into larger freezer bags for easier storage. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To Thaw: Frozen carrot puree should be thawed in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, immerse the sealed portion in cold water, changing the water every 10-15 minutes until thawed. Lastly, you could thaw in the microwave using the defrost setting and stirring frequently. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
