This is such a great way for kids to eat chickpeas and quinoa. They’re easy to make and my 1 year old triplets really enjoyed them!

The exterior of these nuggets are crispy just like chicken nuggets but the interior is soft in texture which makes it easy for children to eat and enjoy. They may be eaten on their own, as a side or with a dip like guacamole or hummus.
I especially love how nutritious these are!

Ingredients
⭐️13 ounces of chickpeas, liquid drained (the one I used didn’t have any added salt)
⭐️1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
⭐️1/2 cup diced sweet potatoes
⭐️1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, optional
⭐️1 teaspoon granulated onion, optional

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F
Rinse the quinoa and transfer it to a saucepan along with the diced sweet potatoes.
Add 1/2 cup of filtered water.
Cover and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed, the quinoa is cooked and the sweet potato is soft.
Place the rinsed chickpeas, the cooked quinoa and sweet potatoes along with the granulated garlic and onion to a food processor.
Blend/pulse till it’s combined and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
Use a tablespoon measure to scoop and form them into desired shape.
Place it on a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes.
Let it cool and serve.
