A delightful, flavorful dish perfect for those who love a combination of crispy texture and Cajun spice. This recipe is easy to prepare and can serve as a great appetizer or main dish.
Ingredients:
- 14 oz (approx. 0.9 lbs or 400g) extra-firm tofu
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- 4 tbsp Cajun all-purpose seasoning
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- Oil spray
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Tofu: Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut or pinch it into bite-sized cubes.
-
Make the Coconut Mixture: In a bowl, mix the coconut milk with 2 tablespoons of Cajun all-purpose seasoning.
-
Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, desiccated coconut, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Cajun all-purpose.
-
Coat the Tofu: Dip each tofu cube into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Next, roll the tofu in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
-
Bake the Tofu: Arrange the coated tofu pieces on a baking tray and spray them lightly with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or main dish with fresh salad and rice or quinoa. This is also super tasty paired your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips and Variations:
- Crispier Texture: For an even crispier texture, you can double-coat the tofu by repeating the dipping and rolling steps.
- Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a light rice dish.
