Tofu Fingers (from Norene's Healthy Kitchen)

1 1/2 cups special K or corn flakes
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning (I think I used basil or oregano instead)
1 lb. extra firm tofu
2/3 cup bottled barbeque sauce or duck sauce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with pam.

Combine cereal, wheat germ, sesame seeds, and seasonings in a food processor fitted with the steel blade; process 6-8 seconds to make coarse crumbs. Transfer to a wide, shallow bowl.

Slice tofu into one inch slices, then cut each slice into strips about one inch wide. You should have about 20 strips. Pat the strips dry with paper towels. Dip each strip in a bowl of barbeque sauce and then in the crumb mixture. Arrange the breaded strips in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Bake, uncovered for 7-8 minutes. Turn strips over and bake 7-8 minutes longer until crisp and golden.
