  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup plant milk

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Mix chickpeas, breadcrumbs, and carrot until thick and moldable.
  2. Shape mixture into small nugget portions evenly.
  3. Dip each piece into flour, then milk for coating.
  4. Place on tray and bake until golden and crisp outside.
  5. Cool slightly, then serve with dips for best texture.

Notes

Bake longer for crispier nuggets or less for softer centers. Freeze shaped nuggets before cooking for convenience. Handle gently during coating. Add spices for flavor variation. Store cooked nuggets chilled and reheat in oven for crispness.
