How to prepare each food
Beet
Roast, steam, or boil whole until a fork slides through easily, then peel. Serve as a smooth purée, or offer a finger-length strip of soft-cooked beet to grip. It is messy and stains, so expect pink hands.
Smooth purée, or a soft finger-length strip that squishes easily. Skin removed, cooked through.
Banana
Use a fully ripe banana so it mashes easily between two fingers. Peel it and offer it as a smooth mash on a spoon, or hand over a finger-length strip the baby can hold with a bit poking out of the fist. A firm or under-ripe banana is harder to manage, so soften it by mashing.

Banana is low-risk when fully ripe and soft. A firm or under-ripe banana is harder to manage, so mash it or wait until it ripens. Always supervise eating.
Putting it together
Cooked beet and frozen banana blended into a smooth, cold mousse.
