15 minutes preparation; 30 minutes cooking time.

INGREDIENTS

1 package Soyganic Extra-Firm Tofu
3 Tbsp Organicville Original BBQ Sauce
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup breadcrumbs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and have a large, shallow pyrex dish ready to place the nuggets in - use a light coating of olive oil to grease the dish.

Cut the tofu in half lengthwise, then into triangles to make about twenty isosceles 'nuggets'.

Mix the barbeque sauce and olive oil in a small dish. In a separate shallow dish, pour the breadcrumbs (to make your own, either blitz up a few slices of bread in a blender or make your own with fat, flour, salt, and herbs). Prepare to get a little messy.

Dip a tofu nugget into the sauce until coated and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until covered, then place it flat in the pyrex dish. Repeat with all other nuggets making sure to give them space in the dish so they brown nicely on all sides.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through baking to make the nuggets extra crispy.

Serve immediately and make extra for late night nibbles when you think no one's looking... Or, skewer the tofu nuggets, once coated, along with seasonal vegetables and barbeque for a crunchy on the outside, soft in the inside kebab.
