I can’t take full credit for these… They’re an adaptation of a recipe my dear Dad made up… But, they WILL change your life.

3. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil and veggie broth.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients, add wet ingredients, and mix, starting to knead with hands as the dough gets hard to mix with a spoon.
5. Turn onto counter, and knead until all dry is incorporated.
6. Tear in half, then in half again until you have nugget-sized balls.
7. In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, paprika, italian seasoning and garlic powder.

9. Transfer to a cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
10. Allow to cool on a cooling rack, then dip in whatever sauces you like, and enjoy!
