Description
Delightful tenders featuring a crunchy exterior and a silky-smooth tofu interior, coated in a tangy honey mustard glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu (about one standard block)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil spray for baking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into strips. (To press: wrap in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, place a weighted cutting board or a few cans on top for 15–30 minutes.)
- In a bowl, mix honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Dip each tofu strip into the marinade, ensuring it’s coated, then transfer to a bowl or plate with breadcrumbs and coat evenly.
- Place the coated tofu on a lined baking sheet and spray lightly with oil.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
- Serve with your favorite dip.
Notes
Press tofu thoroughly for better crispiness. Use panko for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
