Veggie Nuggets

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 3 carrots, peeled & cut into chunks
• 1/2 head cauliflower, broken up
• 1 head broccoli, broken up
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a food processor, blend carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, garlic, egg, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
2. Add 1¼ cup of bread crumbs and blend just until incorporated.
3. Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and form a small circular shaped “nugget.”
4. Place the remaining ½ cup of bread crumbs in a bowl and cover each nugget with the bread crumbs.
5. Either 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.
6. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
7. Enjoy!
