Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
2. Mix the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, grated carrots, and mashed sweet potatoes. Add the shredded cheddar cheese (optional), breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Form the Nuggets: Take small spoonfuls of the veggie mixture and shape them into nugget-sized pieces using your hands. Place the formed nuggets on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Nuggets: Lightly brush or spray the nuggets with olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The nuggets should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5. Serve: Let the nuggets cool slightly before serving. Pair them with a dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch dressing, or hummus to make them even more kid-friendly!
