All, I have to do is call it a ” Nugget” and let him dip it in Ketchup. It has become THAT easy. 🙂
I have Hid vegetables, Fibbed about what was in his Mac and Cheese, researched on how to sneak vegetables, baked vegetables into cookies, AND even presented roasted cauliflower as ” ketchup Dippers”. 🙂
As I was making dinner tonight, I saw 2 large zucchini staring me in the face. Now How can I prepare these in a way that he ( 2 1/2 year old) will eat them? Oh right. Make them into Nuggets and Dip them in ketchup. I have done worse. 🙂
These little babies were SUPER easy to make. I simply made my Tuna Patty recipe ( a recipe I haven’t posted yet). And instead of tuna, I added zucchini instead. AND Corn. These are easy, You don’t need to fry these either. You BAKE them in the oven.
Zucchini Nuggets Best when served with ketchup for the under-five crowd. Grown-ups might want to try dipping in Salsa!
1. IN A BOWL Shred 2 whole zucchini. ADD 2 cups of Panko breadcrumbs, 1 cup of cooked frozen corn, two eggs, and your favorite seasoning.
2 USING A COOKIE SCOOP or spoon. Make 1-inch nuggets and place them on a Baking sheet.
3. BAKE at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, flipping the nuggets 1/2 way through.
You will get Brown and Crispy Nuggets, all ready to dip.
And I promise they will gobble them up and ask for more!

My kids would also love this!! I already make eggplant sticks and the kids devour it!
Those look like an awesome mini snack or a great dinner viand!
I would love to try these! And anything my kids will eat is a huge win.
That actually sounds quite yummy! I do have zucchini in the fridge right now… 😛
Oh my gosh I have to try to make those for my mother! She’s a huge fan of zucchini and I bet she’d love these.
I am not the biggest fan of zucchini but I have to say, those look good. I would definitely try those nuggets. Yum. 🙂
Very creative idea in cooking veggies for kids. I love zucchini.
I haven’t heard of Zucchini Nuggets before, but they look delicious! I think it’s a great recipe for those kids who don’t like veggies 😀
Brilliant. That’s what you are. Now, will these fool husbands, too?! LOL
I tried making something like this for my son, but he wouldn’t eat them. Maybe when he is a little older.
I love zucchini! I have never had them in nugget form though. These look awesome!
I love zucchini. I haven’t tried it in nugget for though. Sounds like a great way to try and entice the littles (or in my case, the little and the teen 😉 )to try it.
these are great and something my kids would eat. Pinned them, so I can try them out
I will definitely need to make these for my boys. My mouth is already watering and I can’t wait to make this.
Yum! I love zucchini, and I might even be able to get the husband to eat those.
What a great and healthy snack!!
This will be great for all the extra zucchini we have every year. I never know what to do with it.
OH I have to try these! I am always looking for new creative ways to get my kids to eat veggies! LOve this idea!
My kids loved chicken nuggets and they are picky when it comes to food. I always have a hard time convincing them to eat vegetables. This is such a great idea!
I am going to try this recipe out on my SUPER picky son!! Thanks a bunch!
This is one that I would definitley love to try! Healthy and tasty. I need to bookmark this for later so I remember to make it 🙂
