Baked Broccoli Nuggets!

Yummy, healthy and Maxwell approved!  As a mom of a two year old, I am always looking for ways to sneak in those veggies and this recipe is a total success! These can be served with ketchup just like classic nuggets, with cheese and sauce or as mini sliders.  I am obsessed with these yummy nuggets.  I make up a batch every Sunday for the week!
