Roasted pumpkin and red onion porridge is a delicious and nutritious option for your baby's food introduction. This combination brings a smooth and sweet pumpkin flavor, along with the slightly spicy and colorful touch of red onion.

Ingredients:
1 small squash (choose a variety suitable for baby food, such as Japanese squash or cabotiá)
1 small red onion
Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Method of preparation:
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Wash and peel the pumpkin, removing the seeds. Cut it into small pieces.
Peel and cut the red onion into thin slices.
Spread the pumpkin pieces and onion slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil and, if desired, add a pinch of salt.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the onion is lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Then place the squash and onion in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. If necessary, add a little boiled water to adjust the texture.
This baby food can be served warm or cold, according to your baby's preference. Remember to test the temperature before offering the baby food and make sure it is suitable for consumption.
Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, C and potassium, in addition to being rich in fiber, which contribute to the smooth functioning of the intestine. Red onion, in turn, has antioxidant properties and contains nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6 and folate.
By offering roasted pumpkin and red onion porridge to your baby, you will be providing a healthy and tasty meal, full of essential nutrients for proper growth and development. Remember to consult your baby's pediatrician before introducing new foods and be aware of possible food allergies or intolerances.
