Tofu Nuggets

 

My kids would never eat tofu until I tried this recipe, freezing the tofu makes

these nuggets wonderfully chewy on the inside. The wheat germ crust makes them

deliciously crisp on the outside. Use a dipping sauce of your choice, we use a

non-fat barbecue sauce for ours.

 

1/2 cup wheat germ

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (heaping)

1/8 teaspoon pepper and some salt to taste

Dipping sauce (we use a non-fat barbecue sauce)

1 pound firm tofu, (you can even use low fat tofu) frozen and then thawed, and

cut into 1 inch cubes

 

Drain your tofu slightly, then wrap tightly and place in freezer until solid.

Thaw before using.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Lightly oil a baking sheet or spray with a nonstick cooking spray.

Place tofu cubes between layers of toweling and gently squeeze out excess water.

In a shallow bowl, combine wheat germ and spices, mixing well.

Fill a small bowl with water.

Dip each piece of tofu first into bowl of water, then shake off excess water and

roll in wheat germ.

Gently press wheat germ onto tofu with the back of a spoon.

Place nuggets on prepared baking sheet.

Back 25 to 30 minutes, until crisp.

Makes 4 servings.
