Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb firm or extra firm tofu, drained and pressed of any water
• Bottle of your favourite BBQ sauce (or any healthy, thick sauce.)
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Add a wired rack on top (not necessary but I like this because the heat can get underneath the nuggets.)
• Slice tofu into little nuggets. I suggest 1/4 inch thickness if you are not familiar with tofu. Dip into BBQ sauce (generously) and then coat with cooked quinoa (it can get messy: I kind of placed some extra on top when I brought the tofu pieces out of the quinoa.) Place onto wired rack. Continue until none remain.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until quinoa is browned and crispy. Serve alongside more sauce if desired!
