- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 40
- Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
-
1 block of extra firm tofu
-
2 tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari (low sodium)
-
¼ cup Nutritional Yeast
-
1 tsp Garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
You will need: 2 silicone baking sheets, 2 baking trays, 1 mixing bowl
Instructions
-
Freeze and defrost tofu for best results (optional).
-
Preheat oven to 425 F. Open tofu packets and press tofu with a clean dish towel to make as dry as possible. Dice tofu into even pieces, make them no bigger than about 3/4 of an inch big.
-
Add garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper into mixing bowl. Combine together. Briefly dunk tofu in a small bowl of soy sauce/tamari and then dunk tofu pieces into mixing bowl and mix gently until fully covered in nutritional yeast/garlic powder mix. If not using soy sauce or Tamari you can also dunk in plant-based milk before adding the coating.
-
Place your silicone baking sheets on top of your baking trays and begin adding tofu to trays. Avoid having tofu pieces too close to each other.
-
Bake for about 15 minutes and then flip the tofu cubes. Bake for about another 25 minutes depending on how crunchy you’d like it.
Air fryer option:
- Follow steps above and instead of baking air fry at 350 F for 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you want it. Move them around every 7-8 minutes to help them cook evenly.
