Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by pressing your tofu block. Cut it into fourths length-wise and place it on a clean towel or paper towel. Place a flat baking tray on top and place something heavy on the baking tray to press all of the water out of the tofu. Let it sit for about ½-1 hour.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 °F.
  • Once your tofu has been pressed, cut it into ½-1 inch cubes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the flour and water until smooth. Dip each cube of tofu into the flour mixture and scoop it out with a fork, banging the fork on the bowl to let any excess flour mixture fall back into the bowl. Place it on the baking tray and continue until all the cubes have been coated.
  • Bake the flour coated cubes for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While the tofu is baking, crush the 2 cups of corn flakes in a food processor or carefully with your hands until mostly fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl.
  • Once the tofu has baked for 10 minutes remove them from the oven. Pour ½ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce into a small bowl. Dip each tofu cube into the BBQ sauce and then roll it in the corn flakes crumbs before returning it back to the baking tray. Continue until all the tofu cubes are coated with the BBQ sauce and corn flakes.
  • Return the tofu back to the oven and back for another 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with more BBQ sauce.

Notes

*You can also used different kinds of flour, such as white, whole wheat or even all-purpose gluten-free.
