Baby butternut is super intense in flavor but much more tender. I find mine at our farmer's market. You'll love the way this recipe melds the sweet and savory.

After about a month of eating solids, I wanted to start introducing more flavors to my son. Butternut squash is a great first food, and here it is roasted with a little olive oil and thyme for a tasty puree that any baby will love! Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
