If you want your kids to eat and enjoy tofu, these crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets<\/strong> are a great option to try. They\u2019re super crunchy, perfect for dipping, and they\u2019re loaded with plant protein, iron, and calcium.<\/em><\/p>\n

I know that tofu is not a food that everyone naturally loves, but as a former vegetarian, I happen to adore it\u2014and it\u2019s such an affordable protein source for kids. It\u2019s also one of the most versatile ingredients and can be cooked in so many different ways.<\/p>\n

Plus, it has a totally mellow flavor that works well in all sorts of recipes. These crunchy nuggets are a nice mix of textures and they\u2019re a fun way for the kids to eat tofu<\/a>. We love them dipped in ketchup as a main dish alongside a grain and a veggie. They\u2019re also really good on top of salads or in tacos!<\/p>\n

Baking tofu for kids can transform the soft texture into one that\u2019s pleasantly crunchy and in nugget form. And this baked tofu recipe doesn\u2019t use any oil or frying to achieve the pleasant crunch, but instead relies on panko<\/a> breadcrumbs<\/a> and a simple baking method that allows the entire nugget to crunch up without ever having to flip them over. (I do love easy cooking methods!)<\/p>\n

If you have a toddler who doesn\u2019t eat dairy and needs calcium for kids<\/a>, or who doesn\u2019t eat meat and needs more iron-rich foods for kids<\/a>, this is a great tofu recipe to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
