Keto Tofu Nuggets
Keto Tofu Nuggets
Keto Tofu Nuggets are a delicious and healthy vegan snack that you can easily make at home. To make these nuggets, start by pressing firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Then, cut the tofu into nugget-sized pieces.
Prepare a coating mix by mixing almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Dip each nugget into the mixture, making sure that it is evenly coated.
Bake the nuggets for 15 minutes. Then turn the oven to broil on high. Broil the nuggets for two minutes on each side or until golden brown.
