Gluten-free crispy pan-fried tofu topped with maple syrup, a wonderful gluten-free alternative. My kids are not GF and they love this! Serve with a small amount of butter.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
- salt to taste
- ½ cup cornmeal
- ground cinnamon, or more to taste
- olive oil, or more as needed
Directions
Step 1
Slice tofu into 1/8-inch-thick slices, laying pieces on a paper towel as you go. Season each side lightly with salt.
Step 2
Place cornmeal in a shallow bowl; add a pinch of salt and cinnamon and stir.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Dip each side of the tofu slices in the cornmeal mixture; gently tap off excess. Place tofu in the hot saucepan and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Cook’s Notes:
I've tried melting some butter with the olive oil for frying the tofu pieces, and this works well and adds additional flavor.
