1. Thoroughly wash the green beans to remove any dirt or impurities.
2. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into pieces approximately 5-7 cm long, suitable for your baby to hold and chew easily.
3. Steam the green beans for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender but still firm enough for your baby to grasp. Avoid overcooking as this can make them too mushy and difficult to handle.
4. Allow the steamed green beans to cool down to a safe temperature before serving them to your baby.

Summary:
This recipe is excellent for babies because green beans are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This snack supports baby-led weaning by encouraging self-feeding and improving motor skills.

Storing Options:
Store any leftover green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently by steaming them again for a couple of minutes or until they reach a suitable temperature.

Possible Side Effects/Allergies:
Green beans are generally safe for babies; however, always watch for any signs of allergies, such as rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea, after introducing any new food.
