Baked Pesto Tofu Herb-Infused Baked Tofu with Homemade Basil Pesto Ingredients: 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves 2 tablespoons pine nuts (or walnuts) 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1 garlic clove 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons olive oil Optional: cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers for garnish Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes. In a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to create pesto. In a bowl, gently toss tofu cubes with the pesto until fully coated. Spread tofu cubes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy. Serve warm with rice, pasta, or a fresh salad. Garnish with cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers, if desired.

Cornflake Chicken Crispy Baked Cornflake-Crusted Chicken Tenders Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders 2 cups cornflakes, crushed 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place crushed cornflakes in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with crushed cornflakes. Press gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle a little olive oil over them to promote crispiness. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Turn halfway through cooking for even browning. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
