Ingredients
- 1 block (14 ounces) extra firm tofu
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 flax eggs or eggs (1 flax egg= 1 tablespoon flax + 3 tablespoons water) let flax eggs sit 5 minutes before using
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional - makes it spicy!!
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.- Slice the tofu into 10 squares: Cut the tofu into 5 slices along the long edge, then cut each column in half to make squares. Lightly press each slice of tofu with a paper towel to remove some of the water.
- To make the marinade, stir together the vegetable broth and soy sauce in a shallow pan. Marinate the tofu in the vegetable broth mixture for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare 3 bowls: one with the flour, one with panko bread crumbs and spices, and one with the flax eggs. Coat the tofu in the flour, then the flax eggs, then the panko.
- Bake at 400 degrees F on the parchment lined baking sheet for 15 minutes. Carefully flip the tofu bites over, then bake for another 15 minutes. They're ready when golden brown and crispy.
