There\u2019s something so comforting about a one-pan tray bake\u2026 especially one that\u2019s loaded with colour, flavour, and nourishing ingredients. This Chorizo, Bean and Pumpkin Tray Bake is the kind of meal you pop in the oven on a busy weeknight and feel quietly smug about because it looks (and tastes!) like you put in far more effort than you did. The smoky chorizo brings a beautiful depth of flavour, the pumpkin turns sweet and caramelised, and the beans add plant-based protein and fibre to help keep little tummies satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a wonderful recipe for babies and toddlers, especially if you’re following the Baby-Led Weaning approach. Everything becomes soft, tender, and naturally easy for small hands to grasp. But just as importantly, it\u2019s equally loved by older kids and adults – which means no separate meals, no extra fuss, and far less washing up. Perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age Appropriat<\/strong>e<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

8 months plus (textures suitable for BLW or can be mashed\/pureed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes for Serving BLW or Puree<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For BLW, offer larger, soft-cooked pieces of pumpkin, beans squished down, and tomato.
For spoon-feeding, puree or mash the roasted vegetables and beans with a little water or broth to achieve your preferred consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving Suggestions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Serve warm with crusty sourdough, steamed greens, a dollop of yoghurt, or even stirred through cooked pasta.
Leftovers also make a delicious breakfast topped with a fried or poached egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage (Fridge & Freezer)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze portions for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot, adding a splash of water if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient Swaps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swap chorizo for chicken sausages or diced chicken thighs.
Swap pumpkin for sweet potato or carrot.
Swap cannellini beans for chickpeas, butter beans, or lentils.
Add zucchini, capsicum, or broccoli for extra veg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
