We came into this with every intention of making this vegetarian nuggets recipe taste as close to actual chicken nuggets as possible. We failed, and have resolved into thinking you can't really recreate that without meat. But our effort led us to something better. And honestly, what are you doing looking for vegetarian nuggets expecting it to taste like McDonald's?

This recipe needs a lot of ingredients. However, this mix of vegetables and spices gives it its unique taste and helps it mimic the shape of real nuggets. You'll definitely need a food processor to make this recipe. You can go old-school and crush them all together. But that's probably going to take you a couple of hours.
