Chef Jordan’s Tip

I often roast carrots until caramelized, the puree them. The depth of flavor is unbelievable. Toss the carrots in 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra virgin olive oil and roast in a preheated oven (300°F/150° C) until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Puree until smooth. To thin this puree, add warm filtered water until you achieve the desired consistency.

Jill’s Nutrition Tip

Carrots are one of the richest vegetable sources of the antioxidant nutrient beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the liver. Your baby’s developing vision relies on adequate amounts of this vitamin. Along with eye health, research suggests that eating carrots benefits cardiovascular health and helps fight against cancer.
