Vegetable recipes for a 6-month-old?

Vegetable purees are among the best starting foods for a 6-month-old. I recommend starting with individual vegetables — it's easier to track allergies and helps your baby discover each vegetable on its own.
The simplest and most common recipe is Carrot puree. Wash and peel a carrot, slice into rings, cook in its own water until soft (steaming is even better). Save the cooking water, make the carrot into puree, and if it's too thick, thin it with a couple spoonfuls of the saved water. Give it plain, with nothing added.
Other good vegetables: zucchini, sweet potato, broccoli (cooked until very soft), cauliflower, spinach (leaves only, well-cooked). Prepare each the same way: single, plain, smooth and pourable puree.
If you want to add oil — just one drop of extra virgin olive oil after cooking. Don't add salt, sugar, or spices.
Important note: At 6 months, your baby's iron needs are high; alongside vegetable purees, make sure they're also getting iron-rich foods (like meat puree or yogurt) in a separate meal. Checking with your pediatrician before starting is the safest approach.
