A delicious twist on the classic tater tots, these crispy tofu tater tots are perfect as a snack or side dish. They’re crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients: 1 block firm tofu, pressed and drained. 2 cups frozen tater tots. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Oil for frying.
Instructions: Set oven temperature to 425F 220C. Slice the tofu into tiny pieces. Combine cornstarch, nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the tofu cubes evenly by tossing them in the mixture. Arrange the coated tofu cubes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the tofu halfway through, or until it becomes crispy. In the meantime, cook the tater tots as directed on the package, until they are crispy and golden. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. After the tofu and tater tots are crispy, carefully fry the tofu cubes for two to three minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside. Serve hot, crispy tofu tater tots with your preferred dipping sauce on the side.
