Tantalizing Veggie Fingers

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and curry powder, creating the crumb coat mixture. Set it aside for later use.
2. In a microwave-safe dish, add the frozen vegetables and grated onion. Mix them until well combined. Cover the dish and microwave on High for 10 minutes.
3. Once cooked, transfer the vegetables to a blender and pulse them a few times, ensuring a coarse texture. Be cautious not to over blend, as you want to maintain some texture.
4. In a large mixing bowl, place the drained chickpeas. Use a potato masher to mash them until smooth and creamy.
5. To the mashed chickpeas, add the soft breadcrumbs, the blended vegetables, grated cheese, salt, pepper, origanum, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
6. Add one egg to the mixture and continue mixing until it forms a soft dough-like consistency.
7. Prepare your working surface by laying a piece of cling wrap. Transfer the vegetable mixture onto the cling wrap and use the back of a spoon to even it out and create a squared shape. Cover the top with another layer of cling wrap and gently press with your hands to level it out further.
8. Remove the top layer of cling wrap and cut the mixture into desired veggie finger shapes or nuggets.
9. In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining egg using a fork. Brush the whisked egg over the veggie fingers, ensuring they are coated.
10. Take each veggie finger and coat the bottom with the whisked egg, then fully cover it with the dry crumb mixture.
11. Lightly oil a shallow microwave-safe dish and place the coated veggie fingers inside.
12. Microwave the dish on High for 4 minutes.
13. Remove the dish from the microwave and carefully flip the veggie fingers to ensure even cooking.
14. Return the dish to the microwave and continue cooking on High for an additional 3 minutes.
15. Once done, serve the Microwave Veggie Fingers with chips and your preferred sauce.
