Who doesn’t love a chicken nugget? Obviously, you do or you wouldn’t be here. Well, my 2-year-old daughter LOVES them. She would put them through her face if she could. I’m always experimenting with ways to make fan favorites at home and of course healthier. So I was giddy when she loved these sweet potato chicken nuggets and it’s nice to know that she’s not eating mystery nuggets and getting a little hidden veggie in there too;)
Ground chicken, grated sweet potato, green onion, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt
Preheat oven to 400° and line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Place all ingredients in a bowl and combine thoroughly.
Use a tablespoon or cookie dough scooper to spoon the mixture into your hands and roll into little balls. Flatten slightly then place in rows on your baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes flipping halfway through or until crispy brown and done throughout.
Ok to broil for a couple of minutes on low to get a nice crust:)
Let cool and serve up with your favorite dipping sauce. I pair these with my homemade ranch. Get the recipe here:)
