Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup green lentils
7 ounces soft tofu, drained and cut into cubes
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place lentils into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; soak for 2 hours.

These bites are a great way to experiment with different flavors. I added a little bit of curry powder and they were delicious.

I love that these bites are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option.

These bites were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used more oil when frying them.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these bites. I'm not usually a big fan of tofu, but the lentils and spices really made a difference. I'll definitely be making them again.

These bites were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect combination of crispy and soft. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I've been looking for a new tofu recipe and this one is definitely a keeper. The bites were easy to make and they turned out perfectly crispy. I loved the combination of flavors and textures.

These tofu lentil bites were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The lentils added a nice nutty flavor and texture. I served them with a side of tahini sauce and they were delicious.
