Quinoa Tofu Nuggets

Preparation time: 30 minutes | Cooking time: 20 minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 500 g firm tofu (well-drained to remove all water)
• Vegan ketchup
• BBQ seasoning
• 0.5 cup cooked quinoa

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Cut the tofu into small “nugget” shapes.
4. Mix the ketchup with BBQ seasoning to make a BBQ sauce. Coat the tofu nuggets in the BBQ sauce, then cover them with the cooked quinoa.
5. Place the nuggets on the baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the quinoa is golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve with extra sauce, if desired.

Tip: To properly drain the tofu, press it with something heavy like a pot filled with water or a few books. Place the tofu in a container, cover it with a kitchen towel or foil, and put the weight on top. Let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes, then drain off the excess water.
