Join the discussionDo you think these nuggets can be baked instead of fried?
Yes they certainly could be baked. I’d say around 375 so they still get that crunch on the outside.
my family did not care for these. the flavor was fine, but they fell apart way to easily, and since i hate to waste, we ended up eating the ‘crumbled tofu’ with spoons! 😉 i wont be making this again.
Kaye – So sorry this didn’t work for you. It happens to me sometimes as well, I just make sure that I make a mental note (or margin note if in a cook book) that it wasn’t a favorite.
