Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 block of extra-firm tofu
• 1/4 cup cornstarch

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Drain the tofu and press it for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. You can use a tofu press or simply wrap the tofu in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top.
3. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces.
4. In a shallow dish, combine the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
5. In another shallow dish, whisk together the non-dairy milk and olive oil.
6. Dip each piece of tofu into the milk mixture, then coat it in the cornstarch mixture, pressing the mixture onto the tofu to ensure it sticks.
7. Place the coated tofu pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the nuggets halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets!
