Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. oil, plus more for pan
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 14–16 oz. block firm tofu, drained
  • Condiment of choice (for serving)


Directions


Step 1. Place the oven rack in the

upper third of the oven and preheat

to 425°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet;

set aside. Whisk together all-

purpose flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a medium

bowl. Set the seasoning mixture aside.


Step 2. Pat the tofu block dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Use your hands to

gently break the tofu into craggy, nugget-size pieces (about 1", the smaller the crispier!). Pat dry

again and place pieces in a second medium bowl.


Step 3. Drizzle oil over tofu and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle the reserved seasoning mixture over

the tofu and stir until the tofu is evenly coated with the seasoning. Spread the tofu nuggets on

the prepared baking sheet (giving them direct contact with the pan helps them get crispy).


Step 4. Bake the tofu nuggets until the outside is golden brown and crisp, 30–35 minutes. If

browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature to 400°F halfway through. Season with salt

if desired and serve with your condiment of choice.
