The most amazing vegetarian nuggets are baked to crispy perfection. They’re so good that you might finish a few servings in one sitting! {Vegan, Vegetarian}
I’m not a huge sports fan but I get super excited about football season every year, because it is the time that friends gather to have fun and enjoy party food. Recently I noticed that I’m getting more and more requests for vegetarian snacks. That’s why I developed these vegan crispy tofu nuggets that taste even better than chicken nuggets! These tofu nuggets are perfect for your next game day party, because they are fussless to prepare, extra yummy, and even taste great when cold. I developed a batter that not only makes the tofu extra flavorful without marinating, but also is more adhesive than the average egg wash and can easily coat the tofu with more breadcrumbs. That equals extra crunchiness.
The recipe works great for baked tofu or fried tofu. If you want your tofu nuggets to have that beautiful, even, golden color, you need to deep-fry them. However I always opt to bake them. They might not look as perfect, but believe me, nobody will notice because they’ll be gone in a few seconds. To make great tofu nuggets that hold together, here are a few things to note:
To serve these tofu nuggets, there are a few options such as the classic ranch or ketchup. However my favorite dipping sauce is Thai sweet chili sauce. My other favorite sauce is this homemade vegan Sriracha mayo. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can prepare the tofu in advance, bring it to the party, and reheat it in the oven or serve it cold. The breadcrumbs will stay crunchy and crispy no matter what. Definitely try out these crispy tofu nuggets for your next game day party. Even if you’re not a football fan, make some for movie night and I’m sure everybody will love them!
