If you're seeking a delicious and nutritious snack or main dish, look no further than these Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets. Perfectly seasoned and wonderfully crunchy, they offer a satisfying bite that’s perfect for dipping or simply enjoying on their own.

To begin, press a block of firm tofu to remove excess moisture, ensuring that your nuggets achieve the desired crispiness. Once drained, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and marinate them in a blend of soy sauce, garlic powder, and a splash of sesame oil for added depth of flavour. After allowing the tofu to soak up the marinade for at least 30 minutes, it's time to coat them.

Create a crunchy exterior by dipping each nugget in a mixture of breadcrumbs (panko works wonderfully for extra crisp), nutritional yeast, and your choice of herbs and spices. Place the coated nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and crisp—typically around 25-30 minutes.

Serve these delightful nuggets warm, paired with your favourite dipping sauce—be it sweet chilli, tahini, or a spicy mayo. Enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and flavours, proving that plant-based eating can be both exciting and utterly delicious!
