Baked
Tofu Nuggets
- 1 (16-ounce) tub firm
or extra firm tofu
3 tablespoons wheat germ
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Marinara or barbecue sauce (warmed), or ketchup
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
(205°C).
- Cut the tofu into 3/4-inch-thick
slices. Blot well between clean tea-towels or several layers
of paper towel, then cut into 3/4-inch dice. Combine the wheat
germ, cornmeal, and seasoned salt in a mixing bowl. Add the tofu
chunks and stir gently until evenly coated.
- Arrange the tofu on a
lightly oiled non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring
once or twice during this time, or until golden and firm. Serve
at once with sauce of your choice for dipping or topping.
Makes 4 to 6 kid-sized
servings.
