Coating your tofu in hemp hearts is a great way to add a little more crunch and texture to tofu if you’re not a huge fan. If you are, then you’re sure to love this recipe. For little extra zing, add a little chili powder, or drizzle with chili oil after.
Serving: 2-3
Ingredients
- 1 block tofu (we used Bean Supreme Organic Tofu)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (or use olive, canola oil)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
Directions
- Drain water from the tofu and gently squeeze as much water as possible using your palms.
- Place tofu on a plate then place another plate over it. Then place a heavy object such as a skillet to help squeeze additional water for 30 minutes or so. Drain water in between that accumulates on the plate.
- Cut tofu into cubes and use a paper towel to absorb additional moisture and pat dry. Repeat the process 2-3 times.
- Preheat the oven to 200C
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine tofu with sesame oil, soy sauce (or tamari) and combine well.
- Combine almond flour, cornflour, and hemp seeds until it evenly coats tofu.
- (Repeat, if you want an extra thick and crunchy coating)
- Arrange the tofu in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Turn at 15 mins and continue baking until golden.
