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.
