Ingredients

  • 1 small beetroot (about 80g), peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp plain unsweetened pasteurised full-fat yoghurt (cow's milk)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp safe water for texture, if needed

Preparation

  1. Wash and peel beetroot, remove any tough ends and cut into small even cubes.

  2. Steam or simmer until the thickest piece is completely fork-tender; cooking may take longer than the original 20-minute estimate.

  3. Drain and cool the beetroot before blending into a smooth purée with safe water as required.

  4. Stir in pasteurised plain full-fat yoghurt and optional olive oil until the mixture is smooth with no firm beetroot pieces or curds.

  5. Serve cool from a spoon or in a thin layer on developmentally appropriate soft food, keeping dairy chilled until feeding.

Serving by Age

Offer as a spoon-fed purée or a thin coating on suitably soft food, not with raw hard vegetables. Ensure the beetroot has no firm pieces and the yoghurt is pasteurised and unsweetened.
