20 minFinely chopped broccoli gets bound with cheese and baked into nugget shapes that crisp up in the oven.
Flipping halfway through ensures both sides develop that golden, crunchy coating kids expect from nuggets.
These deliver vegetables in a form that even picky eaters will grab off the plate.
Kitchen Tips
- Chop cooked broccoli very finely so it holds together in nugget form
- Squeeze excess moisture from broccoli before mixing with other ingredients
- Use parchment paper or a well-greased pan to prevent sticking
- Serve with ranch dressing or ketchup for dipping
