Crispy Tofu Nuggets

Instead of chicken nuggets, these crispy tofu nuggets are a great vegan option. Tofu that has been frozen ahead of time has a chewy texture that goes well with the crispy coating.

Ingredients:

• 1 block frozen tofu, thawed and pressed
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup plant-based milk
• 1 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400F 200C

Cut the tofu into nugget-sized pieces

In a shallow bowl, mix cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper

Pour plant-based milk into another shallow bowl

Dip each tofu piece into the milk, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture

Place coated tofu nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce
