Convert tofu skeptics with crispy tofu nuggets, a delightful vegetarian treat crafted from frozen tofu coated in whole wheat breadcrumbs and pan-seared.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 2 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions:
  • Cut each tofu slice into thirds, widthwise for bite-sized pieces. Press each slice between paper towels to drain excess liquid for better texture. Chill on a plate in the freezer for about 1 hour for a firmer tofu.
  • Combine bread, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, and marjoram in a food processor. Pulse until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a small bowl.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg. Dip tofu slices into the egg mixture, then coat them in bread crumbs. Arrange the breaded tofu on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add 1/3 of the tofu to the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes per side, then drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tofu.
