Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu

  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Drain and press tofu between paper towels until fairly dry. Slice tofu into strips or 1/2-inch cubes.

  2. Combine nutritional yeast, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add tofu pieces in batches and gently shake until coated.

  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu in batches and cook, turning to brown all sides, until golden brown and lightly crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Cook's Note:

The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days.
