Allergen note
Roasted red peppers are generally well-tolerated, but introduce them separately to monitor for rare reactions, and ensure they are peeled and puréed to a safe texture.
How to serve
For infants (6+ months), blend roasted red peppers into a smooth puree, offering 1-2 tablespoons. For toddlers, serve 2-4 tablespoons of soft, diced pieces as a finger food or mixed into grains.
Preparation
Roast until very soft, then peel and puree until smooth for infants or finely chop for toddlers, ensuring all seeds and skins are removed to prevent choking.
Texture and choking risk
Roasted red peppers are slippery and can form a choking plug; always finely chop or puree them and ensure close supervision during meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries roasted red peppers, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
