Pair them with matchstick fries for a plant-based comfort meal, or freeze a batch and reheat a few any time you (or your kids) are craving a quick snack or protein-packed main. Let us show you how it’s done!
How to Make Tofu Nuggets
Inspired by our cashew-crusted cauliflower, the coating on these tofu nuggets includes raw cashews, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and nutritional yeast. After a quick blitz in the food processor, the combo becomes a savory, smoky coating that brings BIG flavor to the tofu. Next, we combine dairy-free milk and lemon juice to create a vegan “buttermilk.” This mixture helps the cashew coating stick to the cubed tofu. Once the assembly line starts, it’s quick and easy: Cornstarch, “buttermilk,” cashew coating, repeat! Once the tofu cubes are cashew-coated, we add them to a lightly greased baking sheet and they’re ready for the oven. A quick flip halfway through the bake time ensures even baking and ultra-crispy results! Now all that remains is to make your favorite sauce, plate up your nuggets, and get to dipping! You can also freeze the nuggets at this time and bake again later for anytime nuggety goodness. We hope you LOVE these tofu nuggets! They’re:CrispySavorySuper snack-ableQuick & easyFreezer-friendly& Perfect for all ages! We love dipping them in tartar sauce, ketchup, ranch, BBQ sauce, or no-honey mustard sauce. They’re also delicious served alongside salads, fries, or crudité!
