  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Description

A unique and healthy recipe combining crispy baked tofu with a savory kale cookie, perfect as a nutritious snack or light meal.


Ingredients

Scale

14 ounces extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup finely chopped kale, stems removed
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cookie dough)


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on half of the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the tofu for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the tofu bakes, prepare the kale cookie dough. In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and baking powder.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and 1 tablespoon olive oil together, then add to the dry ingredients.
Mix until a sticky dough forms. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon water at a time until the dough holds together.
Scoop the dough onto the other half of the baking sheet, forming 6 equal-sized cookies and flattening them slightly.
Bake the cookies alongside the tofu for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tofu and kale cookies cool for 5 minutes before serving.
