Great for kids and nice as a healthy protein packed snack to dip in sweet chilli sauce
- Prep: 4 hrs
- Cook: 25 mins

Directions
1Soak the lentils in cold water for 4 hours or overnight
2Preheat the oven to 200c and line two baking trays with parchment paper
3Blitz the bread in a food processor until it reaches a breadcrumb consistency
4Tip the breadcrumbs into a bowl and put to one side
5Drain the lentils well and add them to the food processor with the grated carrot and courgette Blitz until all the lentils have broken down and the ingredients are well combined
6Add in the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, frozen peas and corn and dried herbs and mix by hand
7Form the mixture into approximately 15 golf ball sized. Place on the baking tray and flatten with a spoon
8Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes
9Allow the nuggets to cool for 10 minutes on the tray before serving (this helps them to firm up)

11The nuggets can also be frozen before cooking. Freeze in a single layer on a plate or tray and then transfer to a freezer bag
12Bake from frozen adding an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time
