Skip sketchy store bought vegetarian nuggets and make this chicken fried tofu instead! These meatless nuggets taste fried but are baked to cripsy golden perfection.
First drain the water from your package of tofu, gently squeezing/blotting out any excess liquid with a few paper towels.
Turn the block on it's side and cut into two symmetrical sheets.
Cut each sheet in half vertically, then horizontally, then again at each diagonal until you have a total of 16 tofu triangles. You can also cut the tofu into 8 larger squares for nuggets that have more tofu and less breading!
Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together both breadcrumbs along with your seasonings.
Next grab a small bowl and mix together your egg and milk.
Fill a third small bowl with the flour and get ready to dip!
Dip each tofu triangle in the flour mixture, then the egg bowl, and finally plop it straight into the breadcrumb bowl and cover with breading. I don't do anything daintily so I literally smash the breadcrumbs into the tofu wedge to pack in as much coating as I can.
Spray all sides with cooking spray [top, bottom, and sides] and place on an oil-rubbed baking sheet.
Bake at 400F for 35 minutes, flipping them after the 20 minute mark.
Enjoy immediately with your favorite dip!
