Green Bean PureeHold on ’cause I’m about to tell you something shocking. 😲
This homemade green bean puree is not only full of essential nutrients, but it is also delicious!
I know, this seems hard to believe because pureed green beans as baby food get a pretty bad rap.
But it’s 💯 true! This green bean puree will knock your 🧦 off!
We start with fresh or frozen green beans that are gently steamed to bring out the freshness. Then, we blend them into a velvety and creamy puree for baby. I add a pinch of cilantro, parsley, or basil to this puree to round out the flavor profile, but you can skip that step if you prefer. Because we are using this gentle way of cooking the green beans 💚, their taste doesn’t get aggressive, making it the perfect light puree for your baby’s first bite.

While I love the crisp and fresh flavor of steamed green beans, there are several ways you can cook green beans for baby food.
SkilletTrim the green beans and then add them to a large skillet that has been preheated with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes. Puree in a blender as directed below.
RoastedIf you want the baby puree to have a dense, earthy taste, then roast the green beans instead.
Trim the green beans and then toss with 1-2 tsp of olive or avocado oil on a baking sheet. Cook 425 degrees F for 18-20 minutes, tossing halfway through baking time or until tender when pricked with a fork. Puree in a blender as directed below.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can baby eat green beans?
Babies can have green beans as one of their first foods. When a baby can start on solids is determined by their own rate of development, which generally comes between 4-6 months of age. Some of the developmental milestones babies need to reach in order to start solids include: if your baby has solid control of their head and neck, if your baby has doubled in weight, and if your baby is reaching for or opening their mouth when you eat (see my guide here). Before you start baby on purees, you should consult with your pediatrician to make sure your child is developmentally ready.
Can green beans be baby’s first food?
Green beans can 100% be your baby’s first food if you want it to be. It is recommended to wait to introduce the top eight allergen foods to your baby once a few other well-tolerated foods have been introduced, but otherwise, foods can be introduced in any order so choose whatever you are most excited for your baby to have.
Are green beans a common allergen for baby?
No, green beans are not a common allergen, however, as with any food, start with a small portion and be aware of any signs that might be an allergic reaction after introducing it.
Do green beans cause constipation for babies?
Green beans do not usually cause constipation in babies, and may actually help alleviate constipation due to their high fiber content.
Adding SpicesFeel free to add a big pinch of roughly chopped basil, cilantro, mint, parsley, or chives to this puree before blending.
Coconut Oil: Another great addition to this puree is adding 1-2 teaspoons of organic virgin coconut oil. Healthy fats, such as coconut oil, help aid your baby’s brain development and function, repair torn or strained muscles (great for crawlers), and is great for digestion needs.
How to Store Green Bean PureeRefrigeratorYou can store this puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
FreezerThis puree can be frozen for up to 4 months.

Green Beans for Baby-Led Weaning: Green beans are also a great food to serve to your baby whole for baby-led weaning (6+ months) or as a finger food (9+ months). You can always serve baby a combination of purees and finger foods right from the start.
Puree Feeding Tips
- Follow your baby’s lead – when feeding purees from a spoon, sometimes there’s a tendency to keep offering bites past the point of your baby being full. Always follow your baby’s cues for when they are done eating. Turning away from the spoon, closing her mouth, or pushing food away are all signs that your baby is finished with the meal.
- Try adding a little seasoning or spice to purees – babies like flavor! Or consider changing the temperature of purees from time to time, to slightly warmed or slightly chilled. Varying these aspects adds to the sensory experience!
- Throwing spoons is a common phase that all babies go through at one point or another. One of the best ways to handle spoon throwing is to ignore it and keep feeding your baby as usual (with an extra spoon you already have at the table). If your baby ends up also throwing back up spoons #2 AND #3, simply encourage your baby to eat with their hands until they appear to be finished with the meal. ***Give baby plenty of opportunities to practice putting items in and taking items out of containers outside of mealtimes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can green beans be baby’s first food?
Green Beans can 100% be your baby’s first food if you want it to be. It is recommended to wait to introduce the top eight allergen foods to your baby once a few other well-tolerated foods have been introduced, but otherwise, foods can be introduced in any order, so choose whatever you are most excited for your baby to have.
Are green beans a common allergen for baby?
No, green beans are not a common allergen; however, as with any food, start with a small portion and be aware of any signs that might be an allergic reaction after introducing it.
Are green beans a choking hazard for babies?
They can be a choking hazard for your baby due to their round shape. Make sure you cook them until they are soft and cut lengthwise to reduce the choking hazard. Always be near and supervise your baby when they are eating green beans.
There are several different ways to prepare green beans for your baby. Here are some of our favorite ways:
SteamedIn a medium pot, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans to a steamer basket, cover, and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender. Let cool slightly.
RoastedToss green beans with a little olive oil and any seasonings you want to use. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook in the oven until tender and browned in spots, about 15 minutes at 425°F.
BoiledPlace green beans into salted boiling water. Cook them for about 5 minutes. Drain the green beans and add any seasonings. The goal is to cook the green beans until they are soft enough for your baby to eat (or gnaw on) yet still firm enough for your baby to pick and self-feed.
Green Bean Puree: You can offer purees and still allow your baby to lead the way with self-feeding by offering the puree on a self-feeding spoon, by placing a few spoonfuls of the puree directly on the tray or in a bowl for your baby to dip their fingers into, or you can even use the puree as a dip for solid foods such a banana or piece of toast.

- Try serving green beans with a dip, such as hummus or yogurt. Toddlers and kids love to dip foods!
- Around 12-18 months, your toddler will be ready to start practicing self-feeding green beans with a fork. You can pre-load the fork with a green bean to make it easier at first.
How to Serve Green Beans for Baby-Led Weaning
Green Bans can be a choking hazard for your baby, regardless if you are doing baby-led weaning starting at 6 months or during the finger foods stage at 9 months, so it is important to cook and serve them properly.
Long Sticks – cooked (6+ months): Make sure they are cooked until soft and serve whole green beans in the shape of long sticks, which will be easier for your baby to pick up at this age and will reduce the risk of choking as your baby chews.
Chopped – cooked (9+ months): Baby starts to develop the pincer grasp around this age, so serving chopped pieces will help give them practice. Continue to cook them until soft.
Sticks or Chopped – raw (12+ months): Baby should be able to handle to the texture of raw green beans at this age, but of course, you can continue to cook them if you prefer.
Foods to Pair with Green Beans
Green beans can be paired with just about anything for a well-rounded meal. But since they lack protein, include a protein source to help with the fullness factor. And because green beans are a great source of vitamin C, which helps with iron absorption, try serving it with a food high in iron to maximize the iron that baby gets.
- Proteins: chicken, beef, fish, shellfish, pork, turkey, yogurt, beans, tofu, quinoa, lentils, eggs
- Iron foods: chicken, beef, fish, shellfish, pork, turkey, beans, tofu, spinach, peas, chickpeas, quinoa, strawberries, enriched bread and pasta, whole wheat bread and pasta, oats, brown rice, whole grain bread, broccoli
