Oven-Roasted Butternut Squash for Babies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Roasted Butternut Squash for Babies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take your halved butternut squash and place it in a roasting pan with the cut sides facing up, like they’re ready to soak up the goodness.

3. Step 3

   Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the flesh, and sprinkle it with dried thyme for that aromatic touch.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to let the magic happen—slide the pan into the oven and roast the squash for about 40 to 45 minutes.

5. Step 5

   You’ll know it’s ready when it’s incredibly soft and has developed a lovely golden-brown hue.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s done, carefully take the squash out of the oven and let it cool for a few moments; we don’t want any burnt fingers here! When it’s cool enough to handle, scoop out the tender flesh and transfer it to a bowl.

7. Step 7

   Grab a fork or a masher and give it a good mash until it’s smooth and creamy.

8. Step 8

   Enjoy the delightful aroma and the satisfaction of creating something delicious!.
