Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F

Step 2

Wash and cut all of your vegetables. Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut into smaller pieces so the food processor can blend them. Using a food processor, process your vegetables. You want the potato to be in “riced” form.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine together the vegetables, chicken, and the rest of the ingredients

Step 4

Spray a couple of large sheet pans with oil. Place your meat mixture onto the sheet pan using a cookie scoop or spoon, ensuring you have plenty of space between each nugget. Wet your fingers to prevent sticking and lightly press the balls into a disc with your fingers. You don't want to go too thin or else they will be prone to sticking. You want your nuggets to be about 2 inches in diameter and ¼-½ inch in thickness.

Step 5

Bake at 400F for 8 minutes and then flip and bake an additional 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool as you do the other batches

Step 6

Once the nuggets have cooled, arrange them onto a sheet pan and place them into the freezer, uncovered until they have frozen solid. This will help them not stick together in the bags.

Step 7

Once they are frozen solid, transfer them to a zip top bag, remove all of the air and keep them in your freezer.

Step 8

Reheat using the air fryer at 400°F for about 5 minutes. They just need to thaw and get hot. You can also use the microwave or oven.
