Steamed green beans
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Finger food
- Prep: 2 min
- Cook: 10 min
- Makes: 1 portion
Ingredients
- a handful green beans
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Top and tail the beans.
- Steam 10 minutes until they bend easily — softer than you would cook them for yourself.
- Cool and hand over a few at a time.
Safety: Cooked until floppy, not crisp. Always sit your baby upright and stay with them while they eat.
Storage: Fridge 1 day.
Tip: A green bean is a ready-made finger food: long, thin, and soft when cooked long enough.
