INGREDIENTS

• 12 oz. block of firm tofu
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
• 2 tbsp corn starch
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
• 1/4 cup flour (or brown rice flour)
• 1/3 cup non-dairy milk
• vegetable oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Slice tofu into 12 rectangles (see video). Optional step: cut into “nugget” shapes.
3. Press with paper towel and or dish towel to remove excess moisture.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, corn starch, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Add the flour to another bowl, and the non-dairy milk to a third bowl.
5. Dip each piece of tofu in the flour, then the non-dairy milk, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Repeat with all the tofu.
6. Add some oil to a frying pan on medium heat and wait until it is heated. Add the tofu pieces into the pan and fry a few minutes per side until golden.
7. Once golden, place on a baking sheet and bake 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Enjoy!
