SOY STICKS

As delicious as french fries may be, it isn't advisable to make them a dietary fixture. If you're seeking a healthy alternative, it's hard to go wrong with these snacks, which are made of high-protein, cholesterol-free tofu.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound extra-firm tofu
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
Ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line baking sheet with a Silpat (a French nonstick baking mat); set aside.
  • Cut tofu horizontally into four 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Lay tofu flat on a clean kitchen towel. Fold towel over tofu, and press gently to remove excess moisture. Cut each piece lengthwise into six 1/2-inch-wide strips. Place on prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place under broiler and cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve hot, with desired condiments.

I believe this is from Martha Stewart. Kinda like french fries but so much more healthy! Be careful with broiling... the times may vary depending on how close your sticks are to the heat. We dunked ours in my Zesty Sauce recipe. Yummy!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb extra firm tofu (make sure it's the kind packed in water!)
coarse salt
fresh ground pepper
ketchup (or other for dipping) or barbecue sauce (or other for dipping)

Steps:

  • preheat the broiler.
  • line a baking sheet with a silpat and set aside.
  • (I don't have one, and used parchment paper for the first few minutes of broiling, then transferred the sticks to a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray) cut tofu horizontally into 4- 1/2" thick slabs.
  • lay flat on paper towels and cover with more towels (use a few sheets).
  • Press to remove excess moisture. I put some heavy pots on top and just let it sit for a while.
  • Cut each piece into 6- 1/2" wide strips.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place under broiler and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot with desired condiments.
