How to Make Organic Baby Food Carrots

Making organic baby food carrots for your little one is very simple. If you follow these steps you will be able to provide your child with delicious homemade baby food in less than thirty minutes.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Carrots
• Water
• Pot
• Stove
• Food Processor
• Ice Cube Tray
• Aluminum Foil

1. First you need to purchase a bag of organic carrots. I usually get a two pound bag.

2. Rinse, peel and cut the carrots into three pieces. If you are using baby carrots you do not need to cut them.

3. Place the carrots in a pot and cover with water.

4. 
   Boiling Carrots

   Place the pot of carrots on the stove and bring to a boil. Allow carrots to boil until tender when poked with a fork. Usually 15 minutes is sufficient.

5. After the carrots are cooked allow them to cool for about five minutes.

6. 
   Processed Carrots

   Place the carrots in your food processor and blend them until they reach the consistency your child prefers. For thinner carrots for a young baby add a little water as you process them. For thicker carrots simple process with no additional water.

7. 
   Ice Cube Trays

   Spoon the carrots into ice cube trays and cover with aluminum foil.

8. Allow the carrots to freeze over night and then remove them from the ice cube tray. Place carrot cubes in a ziploc bag and return to the freezer.

9. Thaw the carrot cubes as needed. Serve to your baby and delight in knowing you have provided a healthy serving of organic carrots to your little one.

Tips & Warnings

• Always store the cubes in a Ziploc Freezer bag for best storage.
• Cubes can be freezed for up to 2 months.
