Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not forget to remove fish bones (unless no fish)
Do not leave thick skin on vegetables
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden peanut

Texture tip

Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking
For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm)
Test cooking with a fork: should be melting-tender
KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove peanut-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. tomato sauce sometimes contains peanut)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation

12 min

Put the cooked tempeh in a large bowl
Add the cooked beet mashed into a smooth purée
Fold in the cooled cooked corn tortilla
Add the binder (silken tofu)
Pour in the olive oil and half of the herbs
Mix with a wooden spoon
Adjust the texture (rice flour if too sticky)
Shape the mini-burgers with oiled hands
Place on a tray

3. Cooking (in the oven)

11 min

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan
Lightly oil a baking sheet
Arrange the mini-burgers leaving 2 cm between each
