Crispy Tofu Bites
Crispy pan fried tofu is a healthy vegetarian snack or appetizer. With a crunchy golden exterior and a firm warm center, these bites have the perfect texture to absorb sauce for a little extra flavor. For an easy dip, simply warm-up marinara sauce in a pan or the microwave and serve in a bowl alongside a plate of these healthy bites. Add a little red chili flake to your sauce for a little heat and watch them fly off the table into the mouths of hungry kids and adults.
In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Slice tofu into 1/4 inch thick slices, and place in bowl of cold water. One at a time, press tofu slices into crumb mixture, turning to coat all sides. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Cook tofu slices until crisp on one side. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, turn, and brown on the other side.
Notes: For a whole meal, serve with 1/2 cup brown rice and a large serving of vegetables.
