Oil-Free Crispy Tofu Nuggets

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Remove the tofu from the package and rinse with water. Place the tofu on a plate and set a cutting board on top of the tofu, then place something heavy on top, like a few cookbooks or a heavy skillet. Set aside for 10–15 minutes while the liquid is pressed out of the tofu.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together all of the coating ingredients EXCEPT the arrowroot powder until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Using your clean hands, gently break the tofu into bite-sized nuggets, about ½-inch to ¾-inch in size, and place them into the mixing bowl. Toss until all of the tofu is coated with the mixture. Add the arrowroot powder and toss again to coat the tofu pieces.

Step 5

Spread the nuggets out in a single layer on your baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the nuggets over and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until they’re golden brown.
