Ingredients
- 2 small zucchinis, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Directions
-
Prep the Zucchini: Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly under running water. Using a blunt knife, carefully dice the zucchinis into small, toddler-friendly pieces. Remember, we want to make sure they’re not too big to avoid any choking hazards!
-
Spice it Up: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the diced zucchinis to the pan and sprinkle the ground cumin, turmeric, and coriander on top.
-
Cook it Right: Stir the zucchinis well to evenly coat them with the spices. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Make sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the zucchinis are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a plate and let them cool slightly before serving to your little one. These spiced zucchinis make a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that your toddler will love!
