Baked Tofu Nuggets

6 kid-size servings

30 minutes or fewer

These breaded nuggets become firm and chewy as they bake. Kids will enjoy dipping them into their favorite sauce.
  • 1 16-oz. pkg. firm or extra-firm tofu, well drained
  • 1 large egg white
  • 3 Tbs. wheat germ
  • 2 Tbs. yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp. seasoned salt
  • 1 jar Marinara or barbecue sauce, warmed, or ketchup
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil nonstick baking sheet.
  2. Cut tofu into1/2-inch-thick slices. Blot well between kitchen towels or several layers of paper towels, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In shallow bowl, beat egg white with a fork. Add tofu cubes; stir gently to coat.
  3. In small bowl, mix together wheat germ, cornmeal and seasoned salt until well combined. Add tofu in small batches and toss until evenly coated.
