1⁄2 cup (70g) panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free if required)
1⁄2 tsp smoked paprika
1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper, to taste
1⁄4 cup (25g) rolled oats (or brown rice flakes or quinoa flakes if gluten free)

2 cups (60g) mixed salad leaves
1⁄2 carrot (medium) sliced into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, season well with salt and pepper and set aside.
Blend oats in a food processor to a rough crumb.
Add beans, yeast, salt and pepper to taste and blend to combine.

Place yogurt in a small bowl and dip nuggets, wiping off excess, and roll in breadcrumb mixture.
