Save money with my simple butternut squash baby food recipe that is rich in flavor, vitamins, and minerals. It has a naturally sweet taste your baby will love, and I make it with just butternut squash and a splash of water in just over an hour.
0 Preheat oven to 400F
1 Cut squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds.
2 Place squash flesh side down on a sheet tray covered with parchment paper.
3 Pour 8oz water onto the parchment paper.
4 Roast for about an hour until tender. The squash should be bubbling and caramelized.
5 Allow to cool 10-15 minutes until you can hold it without a problem.
6 Peel off the outside skin and put flesh into a blender with 8oz water. Puree until smooth.
7 Pour into ice cube trays, allow to cool, then wrap/cover and freeze.
8 Thaw in the fridge the night before use, or thaw by putting the ice cube in a bowl over a bowl of hot water on the counter to defrost.
