Instructions

Cook vegetables per package instructions (or use Ziploc Steam Fresh bag to cook in microwave.)
Let vegetables cool. Then chop up in a food processor or your Ninja Kitchen Prep.
Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well. Use the side of your spoon to mash the vegetables as you are mixing.
Use a small scoop or a melon baller to measure out the “nuggets.”
Then shape into a nuggety shape. I love my Pampered Chef small scoop for these types of jobs. Spray your baking pan with cooking spray.
Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Flip and cook an additional 20 minutes or so.
