Tofu Fries Recipe

October 27, 2010

"Hey wait a minute, I don't like tofu. So why do I like this? That's weird!" This is a direct quote from my six-year-old son at dinner last night. Oddly, (and to my relief), he didn't ask me what it was before trying it. He and his brother both loved these healthy, tasty fries!

They are a fantastic side dish with lunch or dinner and also make for a delicious snack. Tofu is a highly nutritious protein-rich food (made from the curds of soybean milk). My husband doesn't eat poultry or red meat, but tofu can hold its own against those two traditional proteins!

If you want to serve your kids healthy, tasty, and interesting food, make these!
