Nuggets make fast and delicious snacks for any time of the day. As they are easy to cook and serve, heating some frozen nuggets is usually the first choice for most of us after a busy day at work. However, often made with chicken and flour, they are not for vegetarians or friends with celiac disease. Here’s how you can overcome the case: try our gluten free vegetarian nuggets.
More and more people are going vegetarian nowadays. And the number of friends suffering from celiac disease is also on the rise. That’s probably related with GMO matters. The lees naturally you feed, the more likely it is for your body to react to unnatural food, and then you end up at your doctor’s clinic. Another hot issue is about the chicken. Have they ever seen sunlight, are they healthy or loaded with antibiotics? So we think twice before eating chicken.
If you are looking for gluten free vegetarian recipes for dinner and you are really into nuggets, you are reading the right post. The idea sounds very exciting, but what about the taste? How can gluten free vegetarian nuggets be delicious? No worries at all, I bet they taste better than chicken nuggets.
Used in right proportion, cauliflower and carrots make a nice match with addition of right spices. Eggs, cheddar and bread crumbs give your nuggets their soft and crispy texture. Gluten free bread crumbs are no longer difficult to find, just ask the nearest store attendant in your supermarket. Coarsely ground corn flour may also be an alternative to the bread crumbs for a gluten free recipe.
Easy and fast, cheap and attractive, healthy and yummy, … You will definitely become addicted to these gluten free vegetarian nuggets. You can serve them for lunch or dinner, they will be great for a home party, or the couch potatoes at home will ask for more.
One more thing: you can keep them 3 days in refrigerator in an air-tight container.
