Ingredients

Filling

  • 4 medium carrots roughly chopped
  • 200 g butternut squash peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 vegan egg replacer I used Orgran
  • ½ cup GF breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp Schwartz Spicy Chip Seasoning
  • Black pepper to taste

Batter

  • ½ cup GF plain flour
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk of choice I used almond
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika optional

Breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup GF breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200c (400F)
  2. Mix your egg replacer in a separate dish, ensuring it’s smooth and fully combined.
  3. In a food processor, blend carrots, squash, egg replacer, chip seasoning, and garlic.
  4. Add ½ cup of bread crumbs and blend just until incorporated.
  5. Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and form a small circular-shaped “nugget.”
  6. Whisk your flour, paprika and milk in a small bowl to create your batter. Place the remaining cup of bread crumbs in a bowl.
  7. Dip each nugget in your batter, followed by breadcrumbs. For an extra crunchy nugget, repeat this process (double up the batter and breadcrumb ingredients to do so).
  8. Place on a lined baking tray and cook for 25 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
