Steamed Green Beans

Ingredients

• 1 cup green beans

Method

1. 01

   Wash green beans and trim the tough stem ends.

2. 02

   Place a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water.

3. 03

   Add the green beans to the steamer basket and cover.

4. 04

   Steam for 8–10 minutes until very tender and easily squished.

5. 05

   Cool slightly and serve whole — the long shape is perfect for self-feeding.

How to offer

Place 4–5 green beans on the high chair tray. Their natural length is ideal for babies to grasp. Supervise closely and ensure they are very soft before offering — not crunchy.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
