Tofu sticks coated with coconut and baked to a crispy perfection.

Morsels of Life - Crispy Coconut Tofu- - Tofu sticks coated with coconut and baked to a crispy perfection.

As I browsed around blogland, I found this recipe on Cara's Cravings (featured on Five Friday Finds). I knew I had to make this Crispy Coconut Tofu. Although I sliced my tofu into sticks (for simplicity), You could easily use another shape - maybe cookie cutters for kid appeal?

Anyway, back to the crispy coconut tofu - even James, who isn't always fond of tofu, liked it. We served these Crispy Coconut Tofu Sticks with Sweet Chili Sauce, and it brought a tropical feeling to these cold winter months. You can also fry these coconut tofu sticks like the BBQ tofu sticks, but we preferred baking - easier and healthier. Give these crispy coconut tofu sticks a try and see what you think!

What's your favorite way to eat tofu?

Total time:
Yield: 4 servings

Materials:

Mass Weight Volume Number Material Notes
1 pound 2 blocks firm tofu
1 egg, beaten
2 slices bread, crumbs
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Methods:

  1. Gather all materials.
  2. (optional) Slice each tofu block in half so you have two square pieces, wrap in a towel, and place under a cutting board. Weigh down cutting board with cans, jars, or even a pot. This step will create a firmer and more solid tofu.
  3. Cut each block of tofu into 8 sticks. I usually slice in half to form two squares, and then cut each square into 4 sticks.
  4. Dip each stick into the egg, followed by coconut/bread crumb mixture.
  5. Bake at 375F about 25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve with Sweet Chili Sauce.
