how to press tofu without a press<\/a>. The more water you press out of the tofu, the easier it will be to bread. If the tofu is still filled with water and flimsy, it will be very difficult to work with, and it won’t have the best texture when baked.<\/p>\nAfter you’ve pressed your tofu, preheat your oven to 475\u00b0F. You might want to prepare your baking sheet now as well. The breading process is kind of messy, and it will be easier to have your baking sheet ready to go. Add a layer of olive oil to the bottom of the baking sheet and set to the side.<\/p>\n
Once everything is ready, slice your tofu into fries. The tofu fries should be the length of the shorter side of the tofu. Cut 1\/3″-wide strips across the tofu, and then cut those new strips in half. This should make between 18\u201320 fries.<\/p>\n

When the whole block of tofu is cut into fries, prepare your two dipping stations. In one bowl, combine the flour and plant-based milk. This should form a semi-thick paste.\u00a0In a second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, seasonings, and olive oil and mix well.<\/p>\n
Now you are ready to begin breading the tofu! One by one, take a tofu stick, dip it in the plant-milk paste, and then cover it in the breadcrumb mixture. There are two tips for getting the perfect breading: 1) After dipping the tofu in the paste, let some of the liquid drip off. 2) When coating it in breadcrumbs, really press the breadcrumbs into the fry. This will make the coating as thick as possible without having to double bread it!<\/p>\n
Place each fry onto the baking sheet and pop it in the oven. To make sure they are evenly crispy, let them bake for 15 minutes, flip them, and bake them for another 15 minutes. Take them out of the oven and serve with your favorite dipping sauces!<\/p>\n
How to Store Tofu Fries<\/h2>\n
If you don’t finish all of the fries, you can store them in the refrigerator for later! Because they are made with tofu, store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days. When you are ready to eat them, reheat them in the oven for 10\u201315 minutes at 350\u00b0F!<\/p>\n
