- 1 container extra firm tofu
- 1/4 cup corn meal
- 2-3 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
- soy sauce (optional)
Directions:
After draining and lightly pressing tofu to get rid of excess moisture, slice tofu into French fry shape. They should be about 1/2″ wide and 2″ long. If they are too big they won’t stay together when they are dipped.
On a plate or in a shallow bowl mix together corn meal and yeast (salt is optional) and either dip tofu sticks in soy sauce then roll in the corn meal mixture or go straight to the corn meal and skip the soy sauce. I use soy sauce only occasionally and some times use teriyaki sauce in place of it and that usually makes them just a little more crispy.
Place them on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with a little oil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes, turn over and bake for 15 minutes. These can be pan fried but I like being able to put them all in the oven and walk away, and it’s more healthy baking them.
Let cool and serve with any dipping sauce like marinara, mustard, ketchup, soy-ranch, or anything you’ve got laying around. My kids love them and I love giving them to them, they are so cheap and easy to make.
