Easy Healthy High-Protein Vegan Nuggets
Ingredients
- 2 tins of chickpeas drained rinsed and dried.
- 10 sun-dried tomatoes roughly diced
- 1 medium-sized red onion roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons of rolled oats gluten-free if preferred
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or any dried herbs you have got
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F/200C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to your food processor and process until finely chopped and combined, but not pureed. (You want a little bit of chunk.)
- Form the dough into golf-sized balls using your hands, and flatten into a nugget shape. Place on your baking tray and repeat with the remaining chickpea dough. You should make about 20 nuggets in total.
- Bake for 35 minutes in total, flipping at the 20-minute mark. The nuggets are ready to flip when you are able to do easily flip them, without them getting stuck to the parchment paper. If they're sticking to the paper, bake a few minutes longer before trying to flip them again.
- Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes
That is why it’s important that you dry the chickpeas beforehand. Baking time and flipping time will vary according to the size of the nuggets you form. Do not force flip your nuggets if they're not lifting fairly easily from the parchment paper, or they will break. When they are ready to flip, they will lift from the paper easily. And finally, I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
