Introduce this simplified Italian favorite to little ones for a sophisticated spin on baby food. Roasting eggplant brings out its creamy texture and is particularly flavorful when combined with Parmigiano Reggiano and tart yogurt.

Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rub eggplant halves all over with oil and place, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.
Roast until very tender, about 30 minutes.
Loosen eggplant by running a spatula underneath each half and then flip them over. Let cool.
With a spoon, scrape out as much eggplant flesh as possible and transfer to a food processor, discarding skins.
Add cheese and yogurt and pulse until chunky, or purée until smooth.
The eggplant will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
(Suggested age: 10 months and up)
