Ch’cken nuggets

I rarely make anything with tofu, but this is one of my favorite ways to use it when I do buy it!

Ingredients:

• 1 block of firm tofu, pressed, cubed.

The marinade:

• 3/4 cup plant milk (preferably oat).
• 1 tbsp lemon juice.
• Pinch of black pepper.
• 1/2 tsp paprika.
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

The breading:

• 1/4 cup cornstarch or tapioca starch.
• 1 tsp paprika.
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme.
• 1 tsp garlic powder.
• Sea salt to taste.
• Pinch of black pepper.

Breading#2

• 1 cup bread crumbs.

Directions:

Combine the marinade ingredients and marinate the cubed tofu for about 2 hours. Do not drain the marinade. Combine the breading in a small bowl and in a second bowl place the bread crumbs. Roll the marinated tofu in the cornstarch mixture then back into the marinade and lastly into the breadcrumbs. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.
