Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block extra firm tofu (15 oz., pressed)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt (divided)
  • 1.5 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried basil
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for about 30 minutes using kitchen towels and a heavy object.
  2. Prepare three bowls: one with almond milk and lemon juice; another with flour and salt; and the last with panko, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, herbs, black pepper, and remaining salt.
  3. Cut the pressed tofu into thick slices or cubes. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, dip in the almond milk mixture, then roll in the panko mixture until evenly covered.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  5. Allow cooling slightly before serving. Enjoy as an appetizer or add to salads or grain bowls.
