Spunky Skillet

Tofu French Fries

Makes: 2 servings    I     Prep Time: 1.5 hours     I     Cook Time: 15 min

INGREDIENTS

1 Block of extra firm tofu

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp Natierra Pink Salt

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tps cayenne

1 tsp garlic powder

DIRECTIONS

1. Lay a dish towel on a cookie sheet or tray with some paper towels on top. Place the block of tofu on the paper towels. Add more paper towels to cover the tofu. Set some heavy objects on top. I usually put a plate on top and load it up with some canned goods. Let the tofu sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. Remove the weight and towels from the tofu and cut the block into fry-size pieces. You need to remove as much water as possible from the tofu or you will end up with soggy fries. Once again line a baking sheet with a dish towel and paper towels. Evenly spread out the tofu pieces and gently press down on them with more paper towels.

3. Heat the oil in a large pan. Meanwhile, sprinkle Natierra Pink Salt, paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder on the tofu.

4. Once the oil is hot, carefully place half of the fries into the pan. Make sure the tofu pieces do not touch or they will stick together. Cook the fries for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

5. Removed the cooked fries and places them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Add the rest of the uncooked tofu to the pan and cook another 5-7 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. 

6. Enjoy with your favorite condiments!
