My silly question

[Rockett]

I feel really silly asking this,but I have no idea as I've never cooked this before...What is the best way to cook zuchinni lol???
It's for DD who is 6 1/2 months old.I'd like to try her on it by itself before I mix it with anything else.
Thankyou!!!!

Hi! I always steam my DD's zucchini. It has a much nicer flavour and it keeps all the vitamins in!! :)

Hi Butterfly

Yep - same as briannabear - I steam them as they retain vitamins and minerals. One thing I do with zucchini's though is let them sit in the steamer for about 10 minutes after cooking them is to let some of the excess water drain out. I've found they get too watery otherwise. They're nice mixed with sweet potato and cheese .... mmmmmm.

When she starts getting into finger food - zucchini's and carrots are ideal steamed and cut into strips. Also nice grated in an omelette.

I steam my zucchini as well. Doesn't take long and keeps the good in. I use it with pasta on occasions with a bit of grated cheese - Spencer loves it.

yeah steam it and it does go quite watery so i mixed it with other vegies or with plain rice cereal to thicken it up a bit.
