Katherine Pendrill — April 3, 2019 — Lifestyle
McDonald's Norway is making its restaurants a little more vegan and vegetarian-friendly with the debut of chicken-free McNuggets. Even for meat lovers, the new nuggets are a tasty way to squeeze more veggies into a meal.
As McDonald's Norway recently announced, chicken-free McNuggets are currently being tested at select locations across Norway. According to the website, the 'Vegetarnuggets' are made from a mixture of mashed potatoes, chickpeas, onions, carrots, and corn. The meat-free veggie nuggets are then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden and crispy.
If you're looking for a complete meal, McDonald's Norway is also offering a new 'Vegetarian McFeast' burger. Designed to serve as a vegetarian alternative to Noway's 'Chicken McFeast,' the new version features a veggie and bean-based patty.
