For extra crispy nuggets, consider using panko bread crumbs instead of homemade whole wheat bread crumbs. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, sriracha mayo, or sweet chili sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCut each tofu slice into thirds, widthwise. Press each slice between paper towels to drain as much liquid as possible. Place on a plate and freeze for approximately 1 hour.
02
StepPlace bread in a food processor. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, and marjoram. Blend until finely ground into bread crumbs. Pour into a small bowl.
03
StepBeat egg in a bowl. Dip tofu slices into egg and coat thoroughly in bread crumbs. Place breaded tofu on a plate. Season generously with salt and pepper.
04
StepHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently place 1/3 of the tofu into the pan. Cook, turning over halfway, until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat with the remaining tofu.
