Crispy Baked Tofu
Crispy Baked Tofu features extra-firm tofu cubes coated with a seasoned mix of nutritional yeast, oat flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then baked until golden and crisp. The result is a satisfying, crunchy texture on the outside while the tofu remains tender inside. This recipe provides a versatile protein component suitable for salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, or as a snack with dipping sauces.

Ingredients
- 16 oz tofu drained and pressed, extra firm
- 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 Tablespoons oat flour
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Cut drained and pressed tofu into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes and add to a large container. Drizzle on olive oil.
- Combine the nutritional yeast, oat flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl and toss into the container with the tofu. Toss or shake well to coat the tofu.
- Place tofu on a baking sheet in a single layer and and bake for 30-40 minutes, turning the tofu every 10 minutes until tofu is the texture you desire, golden brown and crispy.
- Serve tofu over salad, stuffed into a sandwich, in a stir-fry or on its own like nuggets. I love these dipped in honey mustard or ketchup.
