Baked Tofu Bites (Use These Everywhere)!

So here’s the story: I originally made these baked tofu bites for my Vegan Cobb Salad recipe. I was trying to aim for a simple tofu recipe with a chicken-ish vibe. Vibe achieved. These bites were easy to make, flavourful, and perfect for my cobb salad. But I also discovered that they were more than just perfect for a cobb salad. These baked tofu bites are delicious all on their own. I’m actually surprised any tofu even made it to the salad as I couldn’t stop eating them directly baking sheet.

I decided I needed to share this recipe as it’s own post so that you too could experience the awesomeness of this baked tofu. These tofu bites are scrumptious all on their own and they are perfect on a salad BUT they are so much more than that. This is one of those recipes that once you make it, you start discovering all of the wonderful ways these tofu bites can be used.

They are delicious served with buffalo sauce. They are delicious on top of pasta. They are delicious in a taco. They are delicious in a sandwich. They are delicious on nachos… I think you are starting to get it, these tofu bites are completely addictive and they are delicious EVERYWHERE!

I’ve been making large batches of these glorious tofu nuggets and storing them in the fridge in an air-tight container so they are ready to use whenever hunger strikes.

I like to make a big batch of these using two blocks of tofu at a time, but if you prefer you can cut the recipe in half and just use one block of tofu… But if you do decide to reduce the recipe, you might regret it. You have been warned.

To make Baked Tofu Bites: in a large bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, olive oil, soy sauce and garlic powder.

Break the block of tofu into small chunks and add them to the bowl. (No need to press the tofu first).

Toss the tofu well to evenly coat in the sauce mixture. Spread the tofu evenly across the baking sheets and bake about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.

Serve hot or store in an air-tight container in the fridge to use later. Great as main, as nuggets, on salads, in sandwiches, in tacos, on pasta, on nachos, the options are endless, use these everywhere!
