How to Make – Veggie Fingers
Veggie fingers are a healthy food to have on your dinner plate.
They are full of goodness and full of flavour.
I am pleased to be sharing this recipe for veggie fingers with you.
You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy them.
If you want an alternative to meat, I recommend trying these.
We all struggle at times with “What are we going to have for dinner tonight?”
Sometimes we get fed up with the same old things. It is nice to change it up a bit.
Even if you’re not a vegetarian, it is good to alternate and have a meat free dinner at least a couple of days in the week.
These veggie fingers are great for freezing. When you are ready to cook them, they can be cooked from frozen or they can be defrosted before cooking if you prefer.
