Chickpea Nuggets
OMG!!! Can I jus tell you how AMAZING these were!!! I know you probably had the same though I did when thinking that chickpeas could make good nuggets! But they do. I mean seriously if Black Beans can make delicious burgers why can't chickpeas make delicious chicken nuggets!
Not only did they taste like chicken nuggets but they SMELLED like them while cooking. I was nervous making them especially since I had no clue what they were going to turn out like, but we were getting board with our usual's so I thought why not switch it up! I am SOOOO glad I did!
These nuggets were hubby approved and will definitely be made more often! Oh and we had them with Mac and Cheese - which will be tomorrows recipe! (Gluten FREE, VEGAN, Dairy FREE)
This was the perfect comfort food / bring me back to my kid days meal!! I loved it! And I Seriously can't wait to make them again!
So what did I do? How did I make them?
