FACT: I am a huge fan of finger food. Growing up, if there were chicken fingers and fries on the menu, you best believe I was ordering them. So naturally, I had to figure out a guilt-free way to consume said finger foods while also getting a serving of vegetables in…makes sense right? These veggie nuggets are super simple, packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre, AND they're freezer friendly. Need I say more?

**Ingredients:**

- 1 carrot, large, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
- 1 head of broccoli, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 1/4 cup of gluten-free Rice Krispies, crushed into bread-crumb consistency
- 1/2 cup of gluten-free Rice Krispies (to use for coating)
- Plain Greek Yogurt

**Directions:**

1. In a food processor, mix Gluten-Free Rice Krispies until they reach a bread-crumb consistency and set aside.
2. Add carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, egg, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper to food processor and combine until a thick pasty consistency is reached.
3. Add 'breadcrumbs' and mix until fully combined.
4. Remove blade from food processor and transfer mixture to a bowl.
5. Using a small measuring spoon or your hands, take a 1 tbsp of mixture and make into round patties.
6. Coat patties with remaining 'breadcrumbs' and set aside.
7. Pan-fry until golden brown or bake at 400F for 25 minutes.
8. Serve with plain Greek Yogurt.

**Recipe Modification:**

- Not interested in Gluten Free? No problem! Substitute regular breadcrumbs for the Rice Krispies.
- Add 1/2 cup lentils or chickpeas to mixture for added protein.
- Add 3 tbsp of hemp hearts for added healthy fat and protein.

**Storage:**

- Store in air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Freeze in air-tight container.
