Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by preparing your vegetables. Grate the zucchini and carrot, then place them in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a food processor, combine the squeezed vegetables with canned chickpeas, minced onion, Italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic, black pepper, paprika, eggs, and oat flour or breadcrumbs. Pulse until just combined.
- Heat a generous amount of olive or avocado oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Using a heaping tablespoon, take portions of the mixture and shape them into nugget-sized pieces. Flatten each nugget slightly.
- Carefully place the formed nuggets into the hot oil, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.

Notes
Ensure the mixture is moist but not too watery; avoid soggy nuggets. These nuggets are freezer-friendly and can be reheated for the best texture.
