For the adults, toddlers, and babies in your family

These veggie-packed veggie nuggets are one of my favorite ways to get my toddler to indulge in various vegetables. My little guy loves broccoli, so that is always an ingredient I use, but it is so easy to swap veggies with the ones your kiddo likes or with veggies you have in the house, especially ones that may need to be used up. Just be sure to chop everything into similar size pieces.

Another reason I love making these nuggets is since I’m chopping and prepping an array of veggies, I set some aside to mash up for the baby. Serious timesaver, and everyone is eating the same. I don’t like feeling like I’m making different meals for everyone. Let me know if you try these veggie nuggets out – for the your kids or adults in your life!
