Ingredients

3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
½ head cauliflower, broken up
1 head broccoli, broken up
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 egg
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 ¾ cups bread crumbs

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.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh vegetables for the puree. This will give the nuggets a more vibrant flavor and color.
Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are very soft. This will help them blend smoothly into the puree.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the vegetables by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
When forming the nuggets, be sure to pack the mixture tightly. This will help them hold their shape during cooking.
You can bake or fry the chicken nuggets. If you're baking them, be sure to spray the baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent them from sticking.
Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ketchup, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
