Root vegetables are a popular choice for first foods. Add interest and extra nutrition with olive oil, herbs and spices. Feel free to pick or choose the veg you use depending on what your children like or what you have to hand; the recipe will still work.

Variations: just like the Mediterranean veg recipe, you can swap the herbs and spices to suit your dish. Indian spiced root veg is nice – just add 1 tsp of garam masala.
