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.

These tofu nuggets were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I would definitely make them again, but I would try using a different sauce next time.

These tofu nuggets were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still really good. I would definitely make them again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

The tofu nuggets were easy to make, but they didn't have much flavor. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.
