Extra-firm tofu makes a happy home under a thick coating of panko crumbs. These nuggets are crispy, delicious and fun to dip.

Ingredients

350-g pkg extra-firm tofu, cubed
1 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
½ cup panko bread crumb

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
In a medium bowl, toss cubed tofu with oil and salt. Pour panko into a medium bowl. Toss tofu, in batches, in panko until completely coated, then arrange in a single layer on prepared sheet. Bake in centre of oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 min. Use in salads, on soup, or as a simple snack with dipping sauce.
