It was okay. Make sure you don’t food process it for too long or else it will become too smooth. I had to roll mine around in breadcrumbs and bake it. I didn’t really like it but my mom and grandma did

the nuggets came out pretty well. I suspected i would need a lot of seasonings so i was very liberal. I baked for 40 minutes and the crisp was perfect. The measurements seem flexible so for those not wanting to use a measuing cup it was about 1 medium onion, 1 medium potato and 2 carrots. use the upper palm of your hand as a form for nugget-ish shapes.

I made some modifications, however, it is still a delicious recipe

Turned out tasty. However, the recipe is completely non-specific about which spices to use or how much (you’ll need a lot more than you think, or they turn out bland). In step 2, it specifies that the shredded veggies stick to the pan, and they weren’t kidding! Use more oil than it suggests! The blended lentils with flour and the unknown spices is far too dry, even after soaking and swelling 3x, so add water, roughly 1 cup. Don’t fry these in a pan, as they will stick and become a crumble – this is definitely for the oven, drizzle with oil on parchment paper. They take a while to crisp up. It was a great inspiration for part of dinner today, but the recipe itself is misguided and unhelpful; I had to make it all up as I went

I grated an onion. I GRATED an onion because the recipe calls for a GRATED onion! Diced veggies are not called for in the ingredients, but magically appear in the direction. Add to that the unnamed “spices” and this recipe is no good. I will try to salvage the food, but my faith in your recipes is destroyed.
Please proofread the recipes before you post them.

I like that this recipe had flexibility to season to your own tastes, but I wish it provided an example or two of spices to use! The final cooked texture was a little off, but overall good and I’d consider making again.

Great texture and had a good crispy outside, however, I did not manage to season enough. Will definitely add more seasoning to my next batch.

Very yummy! I read the reviews and added a decent amount of spices (i.e, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, basil, chili powder) and they turned out amazing and with a really good texture. Btw, I put them in the oven and came out nice and crispy on the outside.

not bad, I wasn't sure what seasonings to use so I just experimented with a few different things. Ill use a bit more seasoning nest batch.

After reading reviews, I made several modifications. They tasted fine. And for game day chicken nugget substitutes, they were great!

i made it in the oven. it was tasty. added some extra spices to our own taste. the only problem is that we had split lentils which were still kinda hard. Our fault but if all you have is split lentils, soak them or something first.

Absolutely delicious. The texture was great and tasted awesome. Great dish to make for non vegetarian friends when they come to visit

the recipe is vague, it’s true, but depending on your proficiency with adding spices avant garde, these are a great fun treat. they do take a little longer to make than implied, and i used regular lentils instead of red.

So, my “nuggets” looked more like a vegetable meatball and were not crispy at all. They were good but just not what I expected.

Takes much more time than it says on the recipe. Also need to soak the lentils for longer. It was kind of vague on what to do for most of the ingredients but turned out okay at the end

Deceivingly time consuming and vague recipe. I cooked my lentils first, not sure if recipe literally wanted you to just soak them? Seemed strange. Used rainbow carrots. Also used cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and about 3 minced garlic cloves to season mixture. Also, added egg whites as a binding agent, since I’m not vegan. I baked them with parchment paper on pans, which left them nice a crispy after flipping. Phew, I need a nap. Overall, they’re taste great but I feel like I can take at least 50% credit for my contributions! ;) The recipe was a good jumping off point.

I baked these and had with aome home made chips. Spices in the recipe aren't specify so I eyeballed cumin, ground coriander and paprika. Amazing! Will share with my friend so she can do a healthy variation of chicken nuggets for fussy kids.

Very happy with how this turned out, but needed to make some serious mods to the recipe as written:
First - the “dough” needs liquid - I added about 1/3 of a cup of veggie stock - which worked great
Second - I rolled the patties in Panko crumbs - created a great crispy/crunchy texture - highly recommend
Third - the image shows a sauce with the nuggets but the recipe doesn’t suggest anything - I did a modified spicy BBQ sauce - highly recommend, especially if you are baking and not frying

Pretty tasty. Used normal lentils in lieu of red lentils and fried them. there are things I need to tweak next time, but there will be a next time ☺️

Cooking time way too long. Also no fat content is nice but long cook time and no fat yielded dehydrated brick not “crispy” as the recipe claims. Perhaps lower cooking time, 20 mins or less, and tiny bit of fat content 1-2 tsp (extra virgin olive oil).
