Healthy Tofu Parm!

Healthy Tofu Parm:

1 block of extra firm organic tofu - cut to filet shape

4 flax eggs or egg substitute 

2 cups organic breadcrumbs

organic Italian seasoning 

fresh ground pepper to taste 

red pepper flakes to taste

Preheat oven to 425, drain and slice tofu into filets, and then set aside. In a separate dish spread out the flax egg or egg substitute and sprinkle in some Italian seasoning. On another plate, spread the breadcrumbs and mix in red pepper flakes, ground pepper, and add a generous amount of Italian seasoning.

First, dip the tofu into the egg mixture, creating a light coat then place tofu onto plate with breadcrumbs and cover generously with breadcrumb mixture. 

Place all tofu filets onto cookie sheet covered with a sheet of parchment paper and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the tofu is crispy.
