Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not leave zucchini skin too thick
Do not forget to remove date pits
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden mustard

Texture tip

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

9 min

Place the cooked quinoa in a large bowl
Add the zucchini mashed into a smooth purée
Fold in the cooked rice flakes and diced dates

Adjust the texture (rice flour if too sticky)
Shape the wraps with oiled hands
Place on a tray
