Tofu Thursday

• 4 ounces extra-firm tofu
• ▢1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• ▢1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• ▢1/4 teaspoon salt
• ▢2 eggs
• ▢1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

• Remove the tofu from the package and place onto a towel-lined plate. Top with a second towel and a second plate. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. (This will absorb extra moisture.)

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Coat the rack well with nonstick spray.

• Add the panko to a shallow dish or pie plate and stir in the garlic powder and salt.

• Break the eggs into another shallow dish and beat lightly.

• Add the flour to a third shallow dish and sprinkle with salt.

• Dredge the tofu cubes in the flour, then the egg, and then the panko, and place on the prepared rack. Spray lightly with nonstick spray.

• Bake for 16-18 minutes or until completely cooked through and lightly golden brown.

• Serve warm with dip like ketchup, ranch, guacamole, or anything the kids like if desired.
