This simple carrot puree is bright, delicious and a breeze to make. With an easy steaming method and about 20 minutes, you can have a nutritious homemade puree ready for your kiddos. Take another 5 minutes and a few extra ingredients to turn it into a dish the whole family will love!
Wash and peel the carrots, cut off the top and then cut into 2" chunks
Place a steamer basket in a pot with about 2 inches of water. Add the cut carrots to the basket.
Cook over medium high heat for about 20 minutes or until carrots are fork tender. Once tender, remove from steamer basket, saving the steaming liquid.
Put into blender container, add salt and olive oil (if desired) and puree until desired texture. If you need to add liquid to get a smoother puree, stream in the steaming liquid a little bit at a time.
