Ingredients

  • 15 oz. package extra firm tofu
  • 40 to 45 Almond Nut Thins crackers
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder optional
  • 1 teaspoon ground sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • ½ cup warm water

Instructions

  • Use tofu press to press tofu, if you don't have one, this method works. Place drained tofu on baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel and paper towels, place more paper towels and kitchen towel on top of tofu. Place another baking sheet on top, with a heavy skillet in pan, allow tofu to press for about 15 minutes.
  • While tofu is being pressed, place crackers in a zip bag and crush with rolling pin. When crackers are all crushed add garlic, onion, chipotle, red pepper and salt to zip bag and mix well.
  • Empty crushed cracker mix in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In another small bowl, mix ground flax seed and warm water until well combined.
  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and spray baking rack with cooking oil and place in baking pan, set aside.
  • Take pressed tofu and cut into 1 inch cubes.
  • Whisk flax mixture to assure it's well combined, dip tofu into flax, then into crumbs, place on rack. I use a rack so I don't have to turn the tofu during the cooking time. If you don't have a rack, use a parchment lined pan and turn your tofu halfway through cooking time.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. While tofu bakes prepare dipping sauce.(recipe below)
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving.
