Vegan nuggets are just the thing to eat when you are craving a bit of childhood nostalgia.
Made from vegetables and plant–based ingredients, homemade veggie nuggets are big crowd pleasers and perfect for dunking into your favourite sauce.
Most recipes for vegan nuggets call for a mixture of vegetables, soy and/or legumes. Chickpea, tofu and textured vegetable protein are popular fillings but you can experiment with your favorite veggies to create your own unique vegan nuggets.
In many cases, a coating of panko or cornmeal ensures a crispy exterior (which is all held together with a flax egg). Here are some recipe ideas to get you started:
