HOMEMADE VEGGIE NUGGETS (WITH 3 VEGGIES!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and garlic into a food processor. Grind to chop the veggies finely.
• Add the remaining ingredients except the 1/3 cup breadcrumbs. Grind into a uniform batter, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
• Use a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon to portion out batter, form into an oval "tot" shape, and roll in the 1/3 cup additional breadcrumbs. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat to make all of the nuggets.
• Bake for 30-32 minutes or until lightly golden brown and firm to the touch. Serve warm with a favorite dip such as ketchup or Ranch as desired.

VEGGIE NUGGETS

Steps:

• Shred carrots (I use my food processor's shredding attachment).
• Steam broccoli in the microwave for two minutes or until tender.
• Place shredded carrots, steamed broccoli, garlic, eggs, 1 cup of the breadcrumbs, cheese, onion powder, and black pepper in food processor and pulse for 15 seconds or until well combined. Mixture should form easily into a ball. If it's too crumbly, add water one teaspoon at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
• Form mixture into balls, about a tablespoon each (I use a cookie scoop). You should get about 25 nuggets. Flatten slightly into round discs about 1/2-inch thick.
• Place remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Coat each veggie nuggets with breadcrumbs.
• Heat oil in a skillet on medium high heat until it sizzles when sprinkled with water droplets.
• Arrange nuggets in skillet and cook about 4 minutes each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your skillet.
• Serve with honey-mustard sauce, ketchup, or other favorite dip.

VEGGIE NUGGETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, garlic, egg, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
• Add 1¼ cup (145 grams) of bread crumbs and blend just until incorporated.
• Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and form a small circular-shaped "nugget."
• Place the remaining ½ cup (60 grams) of bread crumbs in a bowl and cover each nugget with the bread crumbs.
• Pan fry with a small drizzle of oil over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Or, you can bake them on a piece of parchment paper at 400˚F (200˚C) for 25 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!

VEGAN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Pulse the cauliflower, carrots and onion in a food processor until very finely chopped, like rice. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the mix for 12-15 mins until softened. Add the garlic and fry for a further 1 min, then take off the heat and stir in the nutritional yeast and yeast extract. Set aside.
• Blend the beans into a mushy purée in a food processor, then add to the veggie mix and combine well. Stir in the flour and season. Put in the fridge to firm up for 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment and coat with a little olive oil. To make the coating, mix the gram flour with 150ml water using a fork so it resembles beaten egg, then season. Scatter the extra gram flour on a plate and fill a second with the breadcrumbs.
• Roll the bean mixture into walnut-sized pieces, then flatten to form nugget shapes. Dip the pieces first in the gram flour, then in the gram batter, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs - handle carefully as they will be a little soft. When the nuggets are fully coated, lay them out on the prepared tray.
• Bake for 20 mins, then use tongs to turn each nugget over and bake for a further 15 mins until they are dark golden and crisp. Leave to cool for 20 mins before serving with your choice of dipping sauces.

BAKED LENTIL VEGGIE NUGGETS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
• Add your bread slices to a food processor and process until a breadcrumb consistency is achieved. Then transfer your bread crumbs into a large bowl, add the frozen corn and peas to the same bowl and set aside.
• Drain your lentils and add them to the food processor along with your grated carrot, zucchini and all the seasonings. Process until broken down and well combined. Then transfer to the bowl with the breadcrumbs, and mix to combine.
• Form 1-1.5" balls using your hands, and place them on your baking tray. Then press each one down gently, without breaking them, to form your nuggets.
• Bake for 30 minutes, carefully flipping them at the 15 minute mark. Let your nuggets cool at room temperature for at least 5 minutes to help them firm up. Then serve with ketchup, homemade mayo, or tahini.
