Best 4 Agedashi Tofu Baked In Toaster Oven Recipes
Agedashi tofu is a classic Japanese dish that consists of tofu that has been coated in a light batter and then deep-fried until golden brown. It is typically served with a dipping sauce made from dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. While agedashi tofu is traditionally made in a deep fryer, it is also possible to make it in a toaster oven. This method results in a lighter and crispier tofu that is just as delicious as the deep-fried version.

Steps:
- Preheat the toaster oven to 350'F
- Line your toaster oven pan with tin foil and spray generously with coconut oil. I use coconut because it doesn't go rancid like other oils when they are heated.
- Open the tofu packages and drain.
- Break the egg in a shallow dish and beat it until combined.
- Put the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Cut each of the tofu blocks in half the long way. This will give you 4 blocks total. If you like it thinner cut them into 3 so you have 6 pieces.
- Dip in the egg, then the bread crumbs. Salt and pepper the tops.
- Place on the prepared pan and spray each piece with oil generously.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check them periodically to make sure they aren't burning.
- Serve with your favourite spaghetti sauce and pasta. You can even make them into a sandwich with toppings. This is very versatile.
- Bon Appetit!
