Recipe: Chickpea Nuggets

I don’t even like chicken nuggets that much but for whatever reason I really like turning non-chicken things into nugget form. These chickpea nuggets are really great and they can be baked instead of fried (or baked and then pan fried if you like them extra crispy) which makes them really easy to store if you make them all at once. They’re basically the perfect combination of a vegetable fritter and falafel if that’s something you need in your life.
