CRISPY BAKED TOFU FINGERS/NUGGETS (LOW FAT)



Crispy Baked Tofu Fingers/Nuggets (Low Fat) image

A great tasting, vegetarian alternative to chicken fingers, these tofu versions are a real (healthful) treat. These make a nice snack, appetizer, or main course if served along a nice salad -- also great in packed lunches! Serve with your favourite dipping sauce such as teriyaki, ranch, BBQ, etc. I've served to both kids and adults with positive results so I figured I'd share the recipe. :) ***note*** Prep time listed is marinating time.

Time 1h20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1/3 cup tamari or 1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons mirin or 2 tablespoons white vinegar, sweetened with
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (5 ounce) package Shake-n-Bake, original flavour
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Wisk together tamari (or soy sauce), teriyaki, and mirin (or vinegar/sugar) Set aside.
  • Cut tofu into 1/2 inch slices and then each slice into half lengthwise to get "fingers." If making "nuggets", cut tofu into 1 inch cubes. Place cubes or fingers into tamari marinade and place in fridge for at least an hour. (the longer you leave it, the more intense the flavour -- sometimes I make this ahead the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight)
  • After marinating, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Place Shake 'n Bake mix in shallow dish or plate and coat each piece of tofu with the crumbs making sure to coat all sides. (press the tofu down into the mix to make sure it sticks well)
  • Place breaded tofu on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray and bake in oven for 10 minutes, flip tofu, then bake another 10 or until golden and crispy.
  • Serve with BBQ sauce, ranch, marinara, teriyaki or any other sauce you desire! :).

BAKED TOFU NUGGETS



Baked Tofu Nuggets image

A vegetarian twist on chicken nuggets. Freezing and thawing the tofu gives it a chewier, meatier texture. You can freeze tofu ahead of time and store in freezer for up to a month.

Time P1DT35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained, or to taste
1 cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Slice tofu block in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/3-inch slices to make bite-sized 'nuggets.' Place tofu in resealable plastic bags and freeze until firm and dry, at least 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place tofu slices on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave until defrosted, 2 to 5 minutes. Squeeze out water from the tofu and place slices over 3 layers of paper towels to drain. Pat dry with additional paper towels.
  • Mix ranch dressing, hot sauce, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a separate bowl. Coat tofu slices with the ranch mixture and roll in bread crumbs until thoroughly coated.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tofu nuggets are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
