Easy Baked Tofu Fries for Toddlers (egg-free + crispy!)
These easy baked tofu fries are a soft, toddler-friendly protein packed with protein, calcium, and iron. Three nutrients little ones need every day! They bake up golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and are perfect for dipping, exploring, and serving to even the most selective eaters.
Equipment
- crinkle cutter
Ingredients
- 1 block extra-firm tofu 14-16 oz
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ⅓ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- pinch paprika or salt optional
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and gently pat it dry with a clean towel. Slice into long, fry-shaped pieces.
- Add tofu pieces to a bowl and drizzle with oil. In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle the mixture over the tofu and toss gently until each piece is coated.
- Place tofu fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until lightly golden and crisp on the edges.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your toddler’s favorite dip. Bake shorter for softer fries and longer for crispier ones.
