  4. Add some of the reserved steaming water, then select Auto Blend.
  5. Blend until smooth, adding more water as necessary to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve one portion warm, then let the rest cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours, or freeze for later.
Storage guide

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (48 hours).

For longer storage, portion into silicone trays or our baby food storage jars and freeze for up to 2 months.

To reheat, use a short steam cycle on the KiddoKook Pro or warm gently in a heat-safe bowl over hot water. Always check the temperature before serving.

Benefits

✓ Carrot and pumpkin are rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A) to support healthy eyes, skin and immunity.

✓ Cauliflower brings fibre, vitamin C and choline to support digestion and brain development.

✓ The natural sweetness of carrot and pumpkin makes this a gentle way to introduce cauliflower's milder, earthier flavour.

Tips

Texture tweak: Add more steaming water for a smoother purée, or less for a thicker consistency.

For toddlers: Stir a portion through cooked pasta for an easy hidden-veggie sauce. Three veggies in, no negotiations required.

For variety: Swap the cauliflower for broccoli or zucchini once bub has tried each veggie on its own.

To meal prep: This batch makes a few baby serves. One for now, some for the fridge, some for the freezer.
