Spicy Mediterranean Tofu Bites

These tofu bites are delicious and highly addicting. Don't say I didn't warn you... 

Step One - TOFU: 

You'll need 1 package of extra form tofu. Take it out of the package and press for approximately 20 minutes prior to dipping in bowl 1 & 2. I usually put it between paper towels on a plate with a heavy object resting on top. 

Once tofu is pressed, I usually cut it into 16 squares; but, you can choose to cut it into however many pieces you'd like. 

Step Two - Bowl 1: 

• 1/4 cup enriched white flour 
• 1/4 + 1 TBSP of H2O
• 1 tsp of garlic powder 
• 1 tsp za'atar 
• 1 tsp sumac 

Step Three - Bowl 2: 

• 3/4 cup vegan panko 
• 2 tsp's of za'atar 

Step Four - Heat oven to 375 F 

Dip each piece of tofu in bowl 1 followed by bowl 2. As you complete each piece, place on baking pan until all tofu bites are ready to go into the oven. 

Bake each side (front & back only) for 23 minutes. Total cooking time is 46 minutes. 

As the tofu bites are cooking you can prepare the sauce. Ingredients and instructions found below. 

Step Five - Ingredients for Spicy Sauce: 

• 1/3 of a cup of Vegan mayo 
• 1/4 cup Sriracha 
• 1/2 fresh squeezed lime 
• 1 tsp garlic powder 

Instructions are simple. Just mix all of the above ingredients in a bowl. 

Once tofu bites are done, toss in sauce. Serve in a wrap, bowl or on top of some greens. These tofu bites taste fantastic with tabbouli & hummus. See previous posts for those recipes. 

Enjoy!!
