One of Miles Storm’s favorite snacks is our Home Baked Miso Glazed Tofu Cubes. They are very easy and fast to make. We like to make this for him as a snack once a week, as our pediatrician told us that it is not good to give little boys too much tofu. Her reasoning was that it has high level of estrogen and is only recommended in moderation.
You will need – Olive Oil, Miso paste and a package of organic firm tofu. I always use South River Chickpea Miso paste, as it is organic and tastes great. It is a little pricey though but worth it as one jar goes a very long way – you can buy it online here.
The ingredients
What To Do
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Line the baking tin with olive oil – a good amount which covers the bottom of the tray.
2. Drain tofu, place on cutting board and roughly chop into 1 inch cubes.
3. Mix a few teaspoons of miso paste in a few tablespoons of olive oil and blend together.
4. Either paint tofu paste on with a brush, or spoon mixture on to tofu pieces.
5. Put tofu in oven and cook until golden brown. Turn pieces of tofu every 15 minutes. It should take between 45 minutes to an hour to cook.
Just out of the oven
6. Perfect for Little hands. Feed your munchkin!
Great for little hands
Thanks for stopping by Willy B Mum!
My 12 month old foster son LOVES tofu. I’m mostly vegan and my husband is an omnivore, so we both let him try different foods we have. He loves veggie burgers and tofu but hates chicken! He’s been with us for 7 months, at this rate he’ll always have a taste for tofu!
cute little man you got there!
That’s great. I love tofu too. The batch I just made is already gone!
Looks yummy! We also love tofu and now this is a new recipe for me to try. Thanks, Libby!
You are welcome, this is a big favorite in our home too. Nice substitute for a protein snack. And, with the miso it is a double whammy.
