Three simple eggplant recipes appropriate for babies
Eggplants can be introduced into your baby’s diet as early as at 8-10 months. You can steam them, sauté them or make them into puree — as long as it is thoroughly cooked and soft, it should be safe for the child to eat. However, if your kid is suffering from digestive issues, it is best to remove the skins from the eggplants before giving them to the baby.

There are many ways you can cook eggplants that would be appropriate for small kids, but we have decided to focus on three best and simplest homemade baby food recipes made with eggplant that your baby will love. So check them out, give them a try and thank us later �

Eggplant puree
This recipe is incredibly simple, as the only ingredient you are going to need is, you guessed it, an eggplant. Wash it and peel of its skin. You can either cut the eggplant into medium-sized cubes and steam them until they get mushy, or cut it into quarters and bake in an oven at about 190 °C for half an hour. The result will be the same.

Then put the cooked eggplant in a bowl and mash it into it gets to the puree consistency. If it is too thick, add a little water (better to use boiled water). When it is smooth enough, make sure it has cooled to appropriate temperature and then serve it to your baby.

If you want to add a little bit more fun to the mealtime, you can skip the pureeing part and give your child steamed eggplant cubes to eat as finger food. Just do not give your baby the eggplant straight from the oven/cooker.

Another recipe you can try is baked eggplants sprinkled with cheese. For this recipe, you will need:

One eggplant;
Cheese (as much as you want);
