Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 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.
