Directions

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with a baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil on top of the capsicum and onion and place in the oven along with the beef meatballs and chickpea herby bites and bake for 10 mins. Leave the capsicum and onion on for an additional 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Place the cooked capsicum in a container, close and wait for it to cool off. This will make it easy for you to then remove the skin.
Cut the capsicum into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the onion.
To make the guacamole, combine the onion, avocado, garlic powder and lemon juice. Mash with a fork and mix well.
Assemble plate with beef meatballs, chickpea herby bites, roasted capsicum and guacamole.

Recipe Note

This recipe is suitable from 8-9 months once bub has begun showing signs of pincer grasp (picking up objects between their thumb and index finger).
To add variety, serve with homemade hummus or tomato sauce as a dipping sauce.
Alternatively, use roasted veggies like carrots or potatoes to pair with this meal.
Note:The capsicum skin is not necessarily a choking hazard, just may cause some gagging and can be annoying for bub to eat.
