Healthy Happy Meal

The ever popular Happy Meal has ingredients that sure don’t make me smile. I thought, why not make my own vegan version, a Healthy Happy Meal that kids will love the taste of, and parents will be happy to make for their kids (and even themselves!)

Equipment

1 knife sharp enough to cut a potato
1 cutting board
1 Baking sheet you can put the nuggets and fries on one sheet
1 sheet of parchment paper
2 bowls
1 peeler optional

Ingredients

1/2 block tofu high protein firm
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup whole wheat flour or gluten free flour
1/2 cup water or soy milk
salt, pepper and garlic powder to season

fries

1/2 potato russet
olive oil spray
sea salt

Instructions

Cut block of tofu in half.
Cut the half block into 6 pieces then shape them into nuggets. Save the extra shavings broken off for another meal!
In a bowl mix the flour and milk to make a batter.
Then pour the breadcrumbs on a plate with salt, pepper and garlic. Dip the tofu in the batter then roll in breadcrumbs.
Lay the nuggets on baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with olive oil spray and bake/air fry at 400 for 20 min or until golden and crispy!

fries

Peeling the potato is optional, then cut into thin fries and lay on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spray with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake or air fry at 400 F. until crispy/golden brown! This should take about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Make sure to get extra firm tofu so the nuggets can stay intact and form a nugget shape.
Flip the nuggets half way through if you like them extra crispy.
Cut the fries to your preferred thickness. You can have them thin or more like wedges. Just keep in mind that thicker fries may take longer to cook.
Add apple slices to the meal!
