Tofu Nuggets

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, parmesean, and paprika in a small bowl.
2. 2
   Mix the vegetable puree and egg together in a flat bowl.
3. 3
   Slice or cube the tofu into bite sized pieces. You can use any shape you want, including cookie cutters. Sprinkle the tofu with the salt.
4. 4
   Dip the tofu into the egg mixture, then roll in the breadcrumbs until the tofu is completed coated and you can't see the puree.
5. 5
   Spray a large nonstick pan with cooking spray, heat the pan, then add the oil.
6. 6
   Cook the tofu over medium heat 3-4 minutes to a side, being careful not to overbrown. Cook until the coating is crisp and golden on all sides.
7. 7
   Note: the recipe for chicken nuggets is almost identical, but calls for using broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, or beet puree.
