• To make the nuggets even crispier, you can lightly brush them with oil before baking.
• If you don't have breadcrumbs, you can use crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs as a substitute.

• You can also serve them as a main course with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
• These nuggets are freezer-friendly. After shaping them, place them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To cook from frozen, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes.
