How to prepare Vegan Carrot Nuggets

  1. First peel the carrots and cut them into thick rounds. Cover them with water, add a little salt and cook for 10 min from boiling. They should become soft.
  2. In a blender, bring together the boiled and drained carrots, well-drained chickpeas, egg and Parmesan cheese. Give an initial shake, stirring a couple of times if necessary. Then add the breadcrumbs and smoked paprika and blend again.
  3. Form the nuggets by taking small portions of the mixture with two spoons and slide them into a dish with breadcrumbs. Bread the nuggets well and place them in baking dish with parchment paper.
  4. Finish by adding a drizzle of oil and bake in a 190°C (375 °F)  ventilated oven for 25 minutes, or in an air fryer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. One nugget pulls the other, I guarantee it!
