Tofu with Rachel Rose

This week I have decide to use a recipe from a Vegatarian friend of mine. A while back I had a viewer ask about some easy dishes for aspiring vegatarians and as a carnivore I was unable to come up with one on my own so, I went to a collegue and friend of mine and here we are.



Baked Tofu Nuggets (Vegetarian Appetizer)
Ingredients:
1 package of firm tofu
2 tbsp Nutritional yeast (powder form)
3 tbsp Bread crumbs
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
Grill seasoning
Black pepper
*Nutritonal yeast would be found at a local health store and is not the same as baking yeast

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

To prepare the tofu, you want to press as much of the water out of is as possible, first.
Once you get it drained the best you can, you take the block of tofu and cut it into small square pieces.
In a small bowl, combine nutritional yeast and bread crumbs.
Mix in the seasonings until you reach a taste that suits you. Feel free to try other seasonings that you enjoy, or feel free to experiment
Once you have a mixture you are happy with, take each tofu square and roll it into the mixture and then place it onto a baking sheet. (Note: If you aren't using aluminum under the tofu, lightly spray the sheet with non-stick spray)
Bake the squares for 20-30 minutes, or until golden.
Serve with dips such as ketchup or barbeque sauce
