Dill Pickle Tofu Bites

Tofu nuggets get tossed in pickle brine and a dilly cornstarch coating, then baked until golden and crisp. They work as a party appetizer, a salad topper, or a snack with ranch.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Tear the tofu into bite-sized chunks for a more meat-like texture, or cut it into small cubes.

  3. 3

    Whisk the cornstarch, garlic powder, dried dill, and salt together in a small bowl. Set it aside.

  4. 4

    Add the tofu to a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of dill pickle brine and the avocado oil. Toss with a spatula until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the tofu and toss again until every piece is coated.

  6. 6

    Spread the tofu out on the prepared baking sheet so the pieces aren't touching.

  7. 7

    Bake on the top rack for 20 minutes.

  8. 8

    Carefully flip each piece of tofu. Bake on the top rack for another 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  9. 9

    Serve warm with vegan ranch for dipping, or pile it over grain bowls, salads, and wraps.

Good to know
  • Spread the pieces out so they crisp up instead of steaming.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in an air fryer, toaster oven, or oven to bring back the crunch.
