Best Crispy Tofu Fingers Recipes

CRISPY BAKED TOFU FINGERS/NUGGETS (LOW FAT)

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! :).

CRISPY TOFU FINGERS

Steps:

• Coat a cookie sheet with oil.
• Slice tofu lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick, and pat dry.
• Put the sauce into a dish, and dip each piece of tofu into the sauce, coating it well (I used barbecue sauce, and it was tasty).
• Place the tofu on the cookie sheet in a single layer (Pieces can be touching, but should not overlap).
• Sprinkle on desired seasoning.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how crispy you like it.
• Some people like it very chewy, while others prefer it when it's still soft.
