Tofu Nugget Delight 🌿🫕
Ingredients
- 1 block of tofu (pressed to remove excess water)
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
- For the marinade: 2 tbsp mustard, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 cup plant-based milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.
Preparation
Prepare the marinade by whisking together mustard, nutritional yeast, plant-based milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
Cut the tofu into squares or rectangles and dip each piece into the marinade using a fork. Use a separate fork to dip the marinated tofu into the breadcrumbs to avoid clumping.
Coat all the tofu pieces in breadcrumbs and choose one of two cooking options
Heat oil in a pan and fry the tofu until golden and crisp. You can use olive oil or coconut oil.
Alternatively, bake the tofu in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu pieces halfway through to ensure even browning.
For the dip, you can use tomato sauce or use the same marinade as a dip.
Serve the crispy tofu nuggets with your chosen dip and enjoy!
