Ingredients

  • 14 oz. block extra-firm tofu (pressed well*)
  • 1 Tbsp. tamari
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder (or more)
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (or more)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    Cube the pressed tofu. Place in a medium bowl. Add tamari and any optional seasonings if desired. (I enjoy onion and garlic powder.) Gently toss with a spatula to coat.

  3. 3

    Then sprinkle cornstarch on top, evenly dispersing it so it doesn't clump in one spot. Then sprinkle on the nutritional yeast. Gently toss well to evenly coat the cubes. (Some may break a little, that's okay.)

  4. 4

    Place coated tofu spaced apart on a lined baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the cubes, then bake for 18-20 more minutes.
