Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will impress your guests? Look no further than these Crispy Panko-Crusted Batons! This dish is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a fancy dinner party.

To make these delicious batons, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound of firm tofu, cut into batons
- 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying


To start, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each tofu baton into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the tofu to ensure they stick.
Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the batons in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the batons are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
These Crispy Panko-Crusted Batons are the perfect appetizer for any occasion. They are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a deliciously savory flavor that will leave your guests wanting more. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
