Are you looking for a gluten-free recipe that everyone in the family will love? These Veggie Loaded Chickpea Nuggets are the BEST. Since this recipe makes 30 veggie nuggets, there is more than plenty to go around. Plus, it’s the perfect way to load up the kids with extra veggies, too! 

how to make Veggie Loaded Chickpea Nuggets

We crave new and fun foods in our house. Maybe we’re a family of foodies, or maybe we just like to try new and exciting things. I really like this easy nugget recipe because the main ingredient is chickpeas and the kids literally have no idea.

It’s not that I’m trying to trick them, but let’s be honest. Getting the kids to eat more food with veggies is probably a daily struggle for most of us. Thankfully there are recipes like this Chickpea Nuggets that make this one less battle to have to fight.

Once the kids gobble them all down, it’s up to you to tell them that they’re just ate simple gluten-free chickpea nuggets. I say some things are just better left unsaid! Make sure to check out my Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes for even more yummy options.

How do you get rid of excess water from the shredded zucchini?

You’ll be amazed at how much water zucchini holds! Once you shred the zucchini, you need to get rid of as much of the water as possible. For this baking hack, I typically placed shredded zucchini in a paper towel give it a good squeeze and drain it out, which gets rid of a lot of it quickly.

What dipping sauces go well with chickpea nuggets?

This is all up to you and your dipping preferences! If you want a dip, get that sauce. Just be sure that whatever dip you’re using is gluten-free as well.

Some dips that people use include:

  • ketchup
  • ranch
  • hot mustard
  • salsa
  • honey mustard

And those are just a few. You can even make a combination dip of all your favorite flavors or eat it without a dip and enjoy them as is.

Tips for Making these Chickpea Nuggets

Even though this recipe is pretty simple to do, there is one tip to keep in mind as you’re making it.

The mixture is going to be wet and sticky, so be sure to wet your hands down if it’s sticking to your hands while you’re forming them. This will make it less sticky and easier to handle.

Gluten-Free Veggie Nuggets

I think that you’ll find that once you make this simple nugget recipe, you’re going to put it on your meal planning radar asap to have it again.

Once the outside of the nuggets are golden-brown, allow nuggets to cool for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.

Can I freeze Veggie Chickpea Nuggets?

It’s very easy to prep this recipe ahead and freeze any leftover vegan chicken nuggets. Simply store in an airtight freezer bag.

Easy Veggie Chickpea Nuggets Recipe

When you are ready to eat, recook the nuggets on a baking tray in the oven as you did before – 400 degrees, 24 to 27 minutes. You also can place your frozen vegan nuggets in the microwave. Arrange spread out as far as possible on a microwave safe plate. Heat 2 to 3 minutes depending on how many nuggets you have on a plate.

What do I serve with Chickpea Nuggets?

Diced potatoes, French fries or fitters are all great sides for nuggets. Using left over zucchini, you could even make these easy veggie fritters and get loads of veggie goodness in your kids. They will never know how healthy their lunch/dinner is!

Camping Scavenger Hunt: Fun Activity for Your Next Trip

Looking for an adventure on your camping trip? Print out this camping scavenger hunt printable set for a fun activity for families with kids of all ages!

Camping Scavenger Hunt Printable

For those of you who enjoy a little bit of adventure on your camping trips, we have the perfect game for you: Camping Scavenger Hunt! This activity will help break up the monotony of a campout and give everyone something to do.

We’ve included some printables that can be used as clues in our scavenger hunt, as well as some riddles that may stump you along the way – but they’re all great fun. The best part is that this game can be adjusted to suit any age group or skill level, so it’s perfect for families with children of varying ages!

How to plan a camping scavenger hunt

Before the camping trip

  • Download and print out the camping scavenger hunt printables on cardstock.
  • Look over the clue cards and decide which ones work best for your group or family. Don’t forget to consider your location and what’s available where you’ll be camping.
  • Plan which order you want the treasure hunt riddles to be in according to your campsite, then add the number to the back of the clues.
  • On the clues and answers page, make a mark through any clues you don’t end up using so there’s no confusion later.
  • Print out however many “do not touch” labels you need on computer paper or adhesive label paper.
  • Attach the labels to the flat side of envelopes, setting clue one aside.

When you arrive at the campsite

Once you get to the campsite, double check your riddles and locations so setting up the game is quick and easy. You’ll want to take something like thin nails and a small hammer or even thumbtacks and tape that won’t leave residue to attach the clues to various surfaces.

It’s important to remove the tape, nails or tacks after the game is over so you can leave nature the way you found it.

Camping scavenger hunt rules

Read the first clue off and encourage the group to solve the scavenger hunt riddles together.

Once the riddle is solved, the group should head to the location(s) they think the clues are pointing to. When the group finds a clue, read it aloud, work to solve it together, then move on to solving the next one until they are done and the last envelope is found.

When you’re done hunting for treasures, take down any cards you haven’t used (or that weren’t found) so other campers don’t find them by accident and spend too much time trying to figure out what they are.

More fun camping activities

If you need more activities after your group completes the scavenger hunt, there are plenty of other activities for your next camping trip!

  • Sing campfire songs: Make up silly lyrics to some old favorites
  • Make s’mores: I mean, if you don’t make s’mores on a camping trip, did you really even camp?
  • Night Hide and Seek:  When the sun goes down and the night sky appears, play Flashlight Tag
  • Photos: Take photos of your group on each day and post them on social media using #campingselfie. You may want to take pictures during the adventure as well that can be used later for scrapbooking adventures together – what’s more fun than looking back at how much fun you had when it was over?
  • Camping Journal: Make a camping journal for the kids on the trip to keep fun notes in, draw things they see, and write about their favorite moments.

Pay only $13.97 when you add TWO 18oz bags of Starbucks Pike Place Ground Coffee to your cart and check out with Subscribe & Save! Even better, if you have 5 or more subscriptions in the same month, your total will drop to $11.97! That’s as low as $5.99 each! They’re almost twice that in the stores!

In 1971 we opened our first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Reflecting on our heritage inspired us to create this delicious blend with smooth body and subtle flavors of cocoa and toasted nuts. Brewed fresh every day in our stores, its a rich, satisfying and balanced cup. Pike Place is a registered trademark of The Pike Place Market PDA, used under license.

With Amazon Subscribe & Save, you can cancel your subscription any time before or after the first shipment.

Pay only $7.78 for an -ounce bag of Starbucks Medium Roast Pike Place Ground Coffee when you check out with Subscribe & Save. Even better, if you have 5 or more subscriptions in the same month, your price will drop to $6.96!

A shade lighter than most of our offerings–more toasty than roasty–it was the result of playing with roast and taste profiles together for a flavor that appealed to a wider range of palates. Perfect if you want to wake up to a less-intense coffee but still want a lot of character; it’s lively with a citrusy tang that gives way to a clean finish.

With Amazon Subscribe & Save, you can cancel your subscription any time before or after the first shipment.
