Report
These Vegan Chicken Nuggets make a great quick lunch or dinner. They're extra crispy on the outside and taste great dipped in any of your favorite sauces.

Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head
- ¾-1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rice or regular breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- nonstick cooking spray
Optional:
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Chop the cauliflower head into florets. Set a steamer basket over a large pot with a lid. Fill the pot with enough water to reach just below the basket. Add the cauliflower into the steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and let the cauliflower cook for 10–15 minutes, until fork tender.
- In a food processor, combine the cauliflower, flour, parsley, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder.
- Allow the mixture to cool for a bit. It will harden up a bit, but remain moist.
- Pour the breadcrumbs into a small bowl.
- Using your hands, shape the cauliflower mixture into nuggets. Small ones work best. Roll each nugget in the breadcrumbs.
- Spread the nuggets on the baking sheet, leaving one inch of space between them as they will spread a little.
- Optional: Whisk 1 tbsp of olive oil with 1 tsp of smoked paprika, and brush over the top of the nuggets.
- Bake for 15 minutes on each side (total 30 minutes), or until their edges begin to brown.

Notes
