Crispy Tofu Nuggets

Okay wow. These tofu nuggets seriously give chicken nuggets a real run for their money!!

I wanted to recreate a healthy version of a plant based chicken nugget using tofu, with the same golden crunchy batter and flavours of your typical nuggets…perfect for dipping in tomato sauce, putting in wraps or tacos, or of course in a typical nourish bowl.

A family friendly, protein packed and absolutely delicious meal. Very impressed with myself right now!
