Southern-Fried Tofu

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

I made this for dinner last night, served with mashed potatoes and steamed brocolli. YUMMY! The spice mixture is just perfect! I have quite a bit of the seasoning mix left over, so you could easily only make half a batch of it, or get a couple of meals from it. My non-veg hubby LOVED this!

 

Oh! Before turning each piece, I lightly sprayed them with olive oil, just to make sure both sides browned nicely. Still, not a lot of oil for something so "fried" tasting!
