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.
- Enjoy!

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.
