IMG_5951

Getting kids to eat vegetables can be tricky 🥕😅. Carrots left on the plate, greens untouched — many parents face this daily. But with these Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Hidden Vegetables, you can turn snack time into a fun, nutritious, and stress-free experience.

These nuggets are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and cleverly packed with finely blended vegetables. Perfect for school holidays, busy weekdays, or weekend family meals!

 

Why Homemade Nuggets Are Worth It 🏠

Making nuggets at home isn’t just about taste — it’s about control and confidence:

  • Healthier Ingredients – You decide what goes in, avoiding preservatives and excess salt.

  • Customizable Flavours – Adjust seasoning to suit kids or adult palates.

  • Hidden Veggies Made Easy – Sneak in carrots, garlic, and spring onions without affecting taste.

  • Freezer-Friendly – Prep in advance for busy days or quick snacks.

Homemade nuggets also teach kids the value of cooking and allow them to participate safely in the kitchen 🍳.

 

Why HEXA Food Fries & Nugget Seasoning is a Game-Changer ✨

One of the secrets to making crispy, flavorful nuggets that kids love is seasoning. HEXA Food Fries & Nugget Seasoning comes in four delicious flavours:

  • 🧀 Cheese – Mild and creamy, perfect for kids.

  • 🌶️ Chili Lime – Adds a zesty kick for adults or adventurous eaters.

  • 🍄 Truffle – Sophisticated, earthy aroma for a gourmet touch.

  • 🍅 Tomato – Slightly tangy and sweet for a classic nugget taste.

For this recipe, the Cheese flavour is mixed into the chicken for that familiar, irresistible taste kids will love. After frying, a light sprinkle of Chili Lime can elevate the flavour for adults — perfect for the whole family.
