Cooking Tips

• Pressing the tofu before cutting it into nuggets helps remove excess moisture and allows it to crisp up better in the oven.
• For extra crispy nuggets, you can spray them with cooking spray before baking.
• Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the breadcrumb mixture to suit your taste.

Storage and Serving

• These tofu nuggets are best served fresh and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
• Serve them as a snack, appetizer, or as a main dish with a side of vegetables or salad.
